Yesterday Today
Yesterday isn’t gone it just moved over for tomorrow
Yesterday Today
Yesterday, a whisper, soft and shy,
A shadow beneath the endless sky.
Dreams once vivid, now a haze,
Lost in the folds of wandering days.
Today holds tightly to what remains,
Gathering echoes, shedding chains.
A quiet pause, a steady flow,
Carrying forward what we know.
Yesterday slips through weary hands,
Like grains of time, or shifting sands.
But today stands firm, steady and true,
A chance to shape what’s bright and new.
Lost is yesterday, yet still it stays,
In softest thoughts, in subtle ways.
For today bears both loss and gain,
The seeds of joy, the roots of pain.
So treasure today with gentle care,
For tomorrow waits just over there.
And though yesterday may seem far away,
Its lessons live within today.

Say It Plainly Challenge Winners
A pattern showed up pretty quickly reading this shortlist: these poems don’t circle what they’re about. They just say it. That makes for some tough, raw reads. Miscarriage, infidelity, chronic pain, money, addiction, fear for someone you love. Not much is softened or dressed up. By the end, I felt like I needed a cigarette, and I don’t even smoke.

You always write poetry that makes one think and then write. Good job.
Ah yes. New year is here. Time to do it all again. Hopefully different this time. and happy new year to you.
