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!

Today brings to an end the April Poem a Day Challenge.  This was my second year of participation and I have greatly enjoyed it!
Since I have been writing a Poem a Day for over one year, writing a poem a day was not that big of a challenge to me anymore,
therefore, I chose to challenge myself further this month by not only writing a poem a day, but to also write a different form of poem each day,
plus I also chose to create some form of artwork daily for each poem. 
It was a challenge–but one I really enjoyed!!
Many thanks to NaPoWriMo 2014 and WD 2014 PAD Challenge for their daily prompts which often inspired me!
