I accept the nomination for The Perfect Poet Award for Week 41. Thank you Becca (and anyone else?) for nominating me.
I am pleased to nominate belladonna23 for her piece ‘it’s gone’.
My entry for week 41:
‘Evolving‘
Goodbye old self,
old shell
cast aside, outgrown
May you disintegrate
into the dust of my past
save for the good memories,
the smiles,
the moments to treasure
The future beckons
but I yield with pleasure
to the vortex of today

bid adieu to the past, wait for the tempting future, and get lost in the present moment! loved it, the thought and the execution! 🙂
Rally Week 41 – My Poetry
Yes, I’m kind of proud of this one … a new direction for me, ie POSITIVE! lol 🙂
So refreshing to read a poem that is not a wallow in self pity and hopelessness!
Nice to know I am not alone!
Thanks! You’re not alone in that … although I confess I seem to be able to do it more easily now; I couldn’t before 🙂
I Yield as well too!
Hooray! 🙂
superb.
Happy Rally.
🙂
Thanks Jingle, and to you! … and I just love the awards you mailed, thank you! Will upload some in the coming days 🙂
Out with the old, in with the new. Love it.
Thank you! Think it’s quite possibly the most positive poem I’ve ever written … 🙂
lovely!
Thank you 🙂
Such a sweet goodbye
🙂
Very inspirational poem! A bit daunting to “yield to the vortex of today” but one must if one is going to go forward! Happy Potluck!
Thank you, thought of it while running in the sunshine! It is daunting, but for the first time in my life I am doing it … I am living day to day and cherishing what I have. It’s a great feeling! Happy Potluck to you to! 🙂
ode to present,
