Out With the Old - In With the New

The old year hobbles out - his path an aftermath of blunders.

Glowingly expectant, the new year readies for a grand entrance -

wearing nothing but  fresh unstained diapers of naiveté.



For the Sijo Poetry Contest of Rick Parise

Robert Johnson Date: 12/30/2012 1:45:00 PM When we've lived enough, we've earned the right to tell it like it is. The year had faults and now it's over. Let's hope we find that four leaf clover. Login to Reply
