Two Sides

Sedoka poem about New Year
Original Poetry by Leona J. Atkinson ©2015

Happy New Year everyone!  I am an optimist!  Therefore, I am looking forward to this New Year and all the new challenges it may bring!  To start it off, and add to the fun of creating poems, I have decided to challenge myself to write some poetry using new forms that I have not yet tried.  Today I have chosen the form “Sedoka”.  I hope you enjoy!

Me

69 years ago this day
A baby was born.
No one knew at that time
The baby was me.

It took all those years
To create the me I am today.

So, on this remembrance day of my birth,
I want to thank God for my life,
And praise Him for all He has done to make me–me.
