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!
