When The New Year Looms Poem by Suzette Richards
When The New Year Looms
I'm inspired by acclaimed poets alone,
living an exemplary life ‘till now.
So many years had gone by in a flash.
Abiding by metre, sonorous tones,
for which I have nothing concrete to show,
except rejection slips. I'd forsaken
all my erstwhile friends whom time has whitewashed,
many being sybarites to the bone -
Whiskey-husky voices to Bacchus bow.
As the upheaval at Meiringspoort rash
but spectacular, where man drove his stake:
to trim as many spent dead boughs I ought
when the New Year looms. I quiver and shake
to find a fit for many random thoughts.
