Notes About The Poem

Related image

 

From, The Sparrow, St. 2 (1801) William Wordsworth

She gave me eyes, she gave me ears;

and humble cares and delicate fears;

a heart, the fountain of sweet tears,

and love, and thought, and joy.

New Year- a New Beginning

I open my door to a brand new year, and take a first step with jubilant glee; a new beginning- want to jump and cheer! Of all past luggage I plan to be free, as blissful as a song bird in a tree; as buzzing joyfully as a spring bee. Snowflakes are falling to caress and kiss, on a park pond ducks still drift, oh delight; I am joyful for a scene such as this! When I let nature inside it feels right, whether it be summer or frozen white;. even if spring or fall- or day, or night. With my new year energy I am thrilled, I plan to smile, to laugh, and with joy sing; gloating - resolutions will be fulfilled! I am in rapture over the whole thing, to this fun awesome journey I will cling; even, when sad sorrow threatens my wing. I will rise above all weeping sadness, and will be full of jubilant madness. __________________________________ January 4, 2019 Poetry/Urban Sonnet/New Year - New Beginning Copyright Protected, ID 19-1101-018-02 All Rights Reserved.

Hi Friends, yes it is sort of long, but I was allowed 50 lines in this contest and I don't think I am close to that. I hope Chantelle likes my poem !
