Today's theme for Poetry Monday is The Future. Poetry Monday is a challenge, hosted by Diane at On the Border.
But today, January 1, 2024 is
Diane's last time hosting Poetry Monday, for the time being, as she's taking a break due to
health issues. Messymimi and I have conspired to keep the chair
warm for her. We will each set the topics for one month, I begin with January, Mimi is gong to tackle February, and so on until Diane returns.
I wrote two short poems for today. One Elfje and one Haiku. Both touching the uncertainty of the future.
Future?
Tomorrow and
The next day
A long, long row.
Uncertain!
The future is filled
With hope and anxiety.
Let us live today!

For January the topics are as follows:
January 8: Winner
January 15: Requirement
January 22: Teacher
January 29: Flight
Thank you so much to you and messymimi for keeping the light on for Diane. I hope her health improves and she returns but in the mean time I am very grateful - and as always, thoroughly enjoyed your poems.
