Notes About The Poem

For contest sponsored by Constance LaFrance

One Goal

I have one green goal 
To shed fears that weigh 
Down my soul like black coal 
And find my wings publishing
My song hoping it will be known
As an anthem of advocacy
For those who need a warning
Not to drink and drive 

I am a poet who writes despite
Short days and long lunar nights
I sing with my purple pen
Dream of peachy publishing 
That my heart will be heard
And perhaps a life saved
For someone special died
Because another drinks and drives
