    • is glad to have written this last poem, glad that it is how I feel, more myself somehow

    Nothing New Under the Sun

    When the sun comes up,
    it’s always a new day –
    another chance to
    say what you need to say.

    Be a better you,
    who makes the best of it.
    Smiling all the while,
    just want to make things fit.

    Still Night ever falls,
    no matter what you try.

    Good thought process. It reads a little clunky. Expand!

    Thanks for your advice. This was a 4am spinout, and I was actually feeling pretty clunky when I wrote it so I wanted it to sound that way, off-putting, leaving off the send rhyme on the last line, cutting you off as you read it... But yes, I agree with work this could be much better! It was just somethng I jotted down and figured I would finally use this account and post one!

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
