"A New Day Yesterday"




Dawned,
freshly kissed fuchsia
fading velvet black to gray,
new day
full of promises,
re-born from yesterday.

Crowned
with expectations
to rise above the fray,
replay
the ordinary
or fly the magic freeway?

Westbound,
over too soon,
no wings to fly away;
next day
be alive in earnest
or mourn the loss of yesterday.

    I really found this to be beautiful and profound. Each stanza could stand on its own and was lovely in its own right. Great job with the prompt. Thanks for entering my anniversary contest! It's my pleasure to read your work!

      Thank you, so much, Paloszoo.

      I was so impressed with your efforts in assembling all the titles
      for this interesting contest. And you were rewarded by
      diversified entries.

      I appreciate being chosen as one of the winners!

      Hey, interactive graphics.
      "Facing south"---like the way
      you jump right in, visualizing
      possibilities from the images
      on the screen!

      I wanted to conceive a thought
      independant of the song lyrics,
      and I do always hope for a
      happy ending!

      Thanks, Rick.

    A new day, with fresh hope, putting past failures firmly behind us - this is what many of us need. I like all the rhymes on "day", you tie the lines together very well.

      Margaret, I just noted your comment from August 28!

      Ah, you noticed the repetition.

      Putting "firnly behind"--your strong will
      and determination shine through!

    We have the power to make choices and changes. We don't have much control over most events that happen in our lives or obstacles that jump in our way but we do have control over how we process them.

    Making me think with not all that much sleep. lol Didn't know you were a Tull fan either.

    Great message of encouragement included in your well crafted words.

      A zillion (well, over a thousand) song titles
      in her prompt list, but this one grabbed me.
      Yes, it is all in our perception, how a middle
      of the road day coould be turned into a great day
      if we appreciate its gifts.

      Now you are sleep thinking, too????? Hah!

      Thank you for activating the brain cells!

        I'm a little more awake now and trying not to think about "my fledgling". lol

        I took a peek at the contest and will probably take a stab at it.

    I absolutely loved that second stanza and think it could have stood alone as a poem all by itself. I am always amazed with your presentation of your pieces, I have no clue how you get more than one picture in your writes but it sure makes your poems come to life.

    Loved this piece dear and I wish you much luck in the contest.

    Hugs,

    Suzi

      Thank you, suzi.
      Your comments are always appreciated.

      Do you have a photobucket account---or something similar?
      Then one just pastes the right code from there,
      where you wish it. As long as you have your gold you
      can do that. I can explain better if I know what system
      you use to post photos.
