EACH DAY A NEW WORD / EACH DAY A NEW PIECE - ON HIATUS. It has been over five years of writing a daily poem and I needed a bit of a break. I'm not sure what the next step for this project will be. In the meantime, I am reviewing the poems written to compile into a new anthology. Thank you for joining me on this journey and enjoy the poetry.

youthquake
Rumbles, grumbles all around
Shaking, moving to the sound
Of growing up in leaps and bounds
Old moral codes, now all unwound.
So rising up, the rules to break
A cataclysmic grand youthquake.
The old order's dictates they won't take.
The status quo o'er coals they rake.
And so it goes, year after year,
each generation to appear
finds the older insincere
and so search out their own frontier.
The more things change..the saying goes...
With time each generation knows
their stances youth then overthrows
until, in turn, they are deposed.
