The First Poem of 2018

The fireworks burst with a bang and pop,

The church bells wildly ringing.

Time has come once more to write nonstop

Time has come for this poet to come out swinging.

 

This I hope to make all of my goals.

Or wear my fingers to the bone while trying.

As the New Year now steadily rolls,

Time for this poet to start flying.

 

I don’t mean to sound like a jerk,

But I need to raise my game once more,

Sit back and just watch me work,

To become better than I was before.

 

The gloves have come off and now the fight,

As I try and soar after the free fall,

The boxing match of which I now write,

Has become a bare knuckle brawl!

ahahahaha ...well my friend ..take a swing at this perhaps "Time has come one more to write nonstop" do you mean "once more" ? ;)
i admire your commitment my friend..its not one i would dare to make ... as i know that the more one writes the better we should get at it ... i am lazy....i will just keep floating along with my one poem a month (maybe) ..but i join you in the commitment to improve as much as i can ... but who can judge right?! its all so subjective .. Happy New Year Toddman! may any and all your hangovers be small :)))
