Notes About The Poem

For Only February 2025 Posted Poetry Contest sponsored by Brian Strand

New Day

It may sound a bit like corn
as I wake up this early morn:
some things went bad since I was born, 

and, while that may be true,
each day's an opportunity to
change the thoughts I think, and things I do; 

and, I'm happy, friend, to say,
there's a world before me to survey, 
and a new sunrise, a brand-new day
