Notes About The Poem

Jennifer Stone on Twitter: "“You have the freedom to be yourself, your true  self, here and now, and nothing can stand in your way." #inspiration  http://t.co/NX9fBTKPHp"

Here and Now

 
Reborn here now without baggage, dawn a view of serenity; and I let go of life's luggage, no longer to haunt endlessly ! A clear new day sparkling like wine, reborn here now without baggage; and reawakening is mine, will repair my parts with damage ! Will strive for a nicer package, where delights are rediscovered; reborn here now without baggage, with my best qualities retrieved ! Each dawn I will be a new me, as I journey this life's passage; with the key to my destiny, reborn here now without baggage ! ______________________ October 3, 2021 Poetry/Quatern/Here and Now Copyright Protected, ID 10-1394-786-3 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Premier contest, Dawn sponsor, Unseeking Seeker, Judged 10/17/2021 Eighth Place

I really don't like too many restrictions and requirements, Constance, because I think they tend to stifle creativity. But each contest sponsor has their likes, dislikes, and prerogatives. I've started passing up the contests which don't really fit my writing style. I do like to try new forms, though. Your comment below explains why I feel the way I do. I would rather have read what you really wanted to write.

Milt, thanks for the compliment, it was difficult to write what I wanted with the restriction of 8 syllables per line but I hope Seeker likes it ~ peace and serenity _Constance
