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!

Fall Friendship Treat

In an attractive cloth bag
Freshly picked apples
A fall culinary treat
A gift from a friend
Sharing her bounty
Apple pie
Soon!

(This is my first attempt at writing a Epulaeryu.  It was a fun challenge!
I want to thank Daisy Mariposa for her excellent Hub on Poetry Forms
for that is where I first learned of this Epulaeryu poetry style.
And, of course, my friend Bonnie, for the lovely apples which inspired me to write this!)
