Poem: New Things

A newborn baby shrieks
A graduation brings new horizons
Potential peaks

Sun rises in the east
Wedding vows are exchanged
Then the feast

Big bang, a universe kicks off anew
Losers win for the very first
Upsetting incumbents by a coup

Baby birds are hatched way up in a nest
Workers are promoted to foremen
Their wives to CEOs over the rest

A semester starts in a flurry
Snow storms boot up savagely
Ma Nature the only judge and jury

Hope emerges fresh from the desert action
Dreams are conjured up under its stars
Nativity and resurrection
