Second Summer

After writing my blog

For a year,

I was afraid

I'd have nothing to write.

Entering my second summer

How many poems

Can you write

About cats and birds?

I'd already covered

War and peace.

But life has a way

Of making things interesting

There's always something

New to experience,

Some new lesson to learn,

Some way to make today

different from

Any other day.

It's the poet's job

To find the rhyme and reason.
