Mystic Rose Rose Poet Free verse

Jubilant Joy

The lay season has been put to rest 

and now my good intentions are finally 

put to the test 

It would be nice if promises of new 

could be wrapped with desires of 

the old 

alongside red bows of will power

toppled with crimpled wrappings of 

success 

The tinsel has been put in store 

presents opened wide, no more 

wanting only

the health that has been hoped for  

I now must do my bid to work at it 

if I want , 

the jubilant joy of tomorrow smiles  

to grace my front door

yes, the lay season has been put to rest

and the January winds are moving West.
