A year's worth of poems, every week for 52 weeks, spanning 2023 and 2024, plus the year following, from August 2024 to August 2025.(provided I live that long, of course).
Thank you, Allan Charles. I've contested the Charlie Chaplin thing a couple of times, won once, if I remember correctly. But it's the kind of thing I try when bored and have nothing better to do - just doesn't seem to have happened lately.
Mind how you go, hard times ahead,
take care, if you’d get home to bed,
the future is a place unknown,
be wary of the traps and stones,
keep eyes upon the winding path and drifting snow,
so guard ambition on the heights, mind how you go.
The storm will pass, the night will end,
you’ll ride the beast bad luck will send,
if you can grasp and not let go
your destination’s cheery glow,
beyond the sands sweet meadows lie, bright flowered grass,
the valleys wide, the days so bright - the storm will pass.
