Janice Canerdy Poet Personification

Seek the Light

I only tell of sunny hours.
"You are quite strange," I hear you say.
“Why would you choose to use your powers
in this unrealistic way?”

I say, “Though dark exists, my frame
of mind directs me to the light,
for Optimism is my name,
and good is foremost in my sight.”


January 30, 2019,  entered in Julia Ward's Sundial Wisdom Poetry Contest
