This poem I am submitting to the DnW Poetry Contest #1, “ The Beginning of 2018 is... Frozen” was originally a song for another contest, Calling All MCs and Singers of Earth!!!!" ... Round 14. X-mas edition!!, but I did not get it posted before the deadline.
I saw this poetry contest and decided maybe it was meant for this instead. Because after all, a song is a poem in motion. I did have to shorten the lyrics to fit the 4 quatrains requirements of contest.
Here is my original drawing for the poem, “The Beginning of 2018 is…Frozen!”
I’m by the coast,
but I can’t see the ocean.
Supposed to be some sun,
but here I’m truly frozen.
Do a little hip-hop;
watching the degrees drop.
Yeah, I’m from the south but,
I can’t wear no flipflops.
Freezing off my little booty
Go and grab my favorite hoodie
Won’t see me driving round,
Cause folks on the roads are super loony.
Shelves be empty in all the stores
Cause they’re calling for some flurries
Got a generator for when the lights go out
So, I ain’t got no worries.
