A Piece of Doggerel

What a joy it is to rise today!
To rise and meet the sun!
There’s no one I despise today!
I welcome everyone!

Exclamation points explode today
like fireworks in the sky!
Happiness comes easily!
I ask no questions why!

My poem tumbles freely now,
Not like a knot I must unlace.
The lazy battle’s shrugged away,
I withdraw from the race.

I take the lines as they come to me,
riddled with cliche.
I leave to write a real poem
to task another day

Suddenly I look to see
rain falling from the clouds.
Today’s not so nice after all.
No visitor’s allowed.
