Before rooster crows, bugle blows,
"You gotta get up! You gotta get up!
You gotta get up in the morning!"

and recruits hit the deck a-running,
while drill sergeant barks commands,

and thus begins career
of military regimen
and selfless service
to nation's purest values,

career of distant duty,
maintaining vigil
to keep enemy at bay
and ensure the flame of freedom
keeps burning for all to see.

“Every moment is a fresh beginning.”
~ T.S Eliot


The past is gone and out of sight
in life's complex motif,
as present time has taken flight
without a sign of grief.

Today, my life begins anew
with fresh ingredients
in Mother Nature's potluck stew,
including ripe suspense.


Notes on the Hymnal Stanza form of poetry

Let the creativity flow from your soul! *Cool*

One fine day, as I was searchin' for my Muse,
the Storymaster wrote some code that he could use
to build a sanctuary for writers,
so we could tarry and pull all-nighters,
trying to light the creative fuse.


         May the goblins of gab ignite your conflagration
         with a gallon of pyrotechnic inspiration.
         May the witches brew a ton of titillation
         in the cauldron of your imagination.


The folks at Writer's Cramp will test our wits,
and Stormy Lady's words will give us fits,
but kansaspoet's ghost still lingers here
to make it absolutely clear
that quality counts in a poetry blitz.


         May the goblins of gab ignite your conflagration
         with a gallon of pyrotechnic inspiration.
         May the witches brew a ton of titillation
         in the cauldron of your imagination.


While the werewolves are howling at the moon
and graveyard residents moan their gruesome tune,
we'll write it all for posterity,
each and every monstrosity,
thanks to Storymaster's creative boon.


         May the goblins of gab ignite your conflagration
         with a gallon of pyrotechnic inspiration.
         May the witches brew a ton of titillation
         in the cauldron of your imagination.
