(Entry for the Borrowed Words Poetry Contest, Sponsor: Crystol Woods, submitted October 21, 2025)
Isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet? A new day with zero debts and zero regrets. Like a clean sheet of paper untouched by ink.. nothing to shy away from, nothing to rethink. But...if I give you a clean sheet, what will you write? Will it be poetry? Will it be prose? It could be fiction or fact, I suppose. Will there be flights of fantasy... or will it be rooted in reality? If mistakes are made, whether for good or ill, well... when life gives you raspberries make raspberry cordial!
