Happy New Year
Today is January 1, 2013.
I like to say
2--0--1--3
because this way
it rhymes with
poetry.
Happy New Year. Today marks my 639th post. Thank you for letting me have so much fun sharing poetry with you. I'm determined that this is going to be a very joyful year. So your challenge for today is to do something to encourage joy in your life and to write a poem about it. You are welcome to leave your poem in the comments below. Have a fun day today and start the new year as you'd like the year to go. I'm going to try to get some cleaning done, for me this is another way to have a new beginning.
And as an extra bonus, here is a poem I received from meeting Welena, a three year-old Hawaiian girl.
MY KNEES
I was running.
I fell down.
My knees
they hit
upon the ground.
The rocks,
they bit
into my knees.
It stung.
It hurt.
I cried,
OW-EEE.
I do NOT like
those rocks.
Those rocks
do NOT like me.
See, the scrapes
that I have got
from falling
on my knees.
