Re-Shaping

Fay Slimm.

 

 

Re-Shaping.

 

All
old leaves
grow mouldy,
buds feel cold from
clinging while loaded
with distinct yet broken
resolve to remain unrolled.
Most leaves
wish to descend
and intent on ending
tight hold in time will rend,
effete leaves need re-tending
not mending when old year ends.
Worn leaves
after first-turning,
from anchor will burst,
then after exhaustion then spurn
branch attraction and liberty earned
they become food for binning or burnt. 
New leaves
can now safely
be planted, alterations  
made, change calls for up-date 
and over-paint all past renovations 
for neoteric pen-inspiration is waiting.
May
next
year
give
you
dear
poet-friends
extra potential as, like me, you 
face reshaping used canvass by newly
making good resolutions for 2022.

HAPPY NEW YEAR YOU BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE.

    Well with the blank sheet of 2022 ahead theres just so much to be done!
