Ah Cannae Wait
Poem of hope and reflection looking ahead to 2024!
Ah cannae wait fir next year
Ah chance tae dae it right
Fir ah change, wae oot fear
Fir ah change, shining light
Of success an' good times
Pal, look, that even rhymes
Ah cannae wait fir next year
Wae jist a wee bit mare
than ah month tae go
Sayonnara, 2023
ah'm oot o' sympathy

Thanks for reading!
Author's Notes: Felt compelled to take a bit of a Scots approach tae mah wee ditty aboot next year!
It's fair to say 2023 has been a mixed bag for me. I did win the Extraterrestrial Challenge here on Vocal and just for the sake of self-promotion and stuff and because I am proud, here is the link:
Apart from that, the rest of the year has been a bit hit and miss, if I am honest. Anyway. No moping, just hoping.
If you're keen, here are a few mare bits of writing by myself.

LIVING IN THE LIGHT
I am training on new software I downloaded on my refurbished Trusselli Art. My computers are now 'hooked up'. CapCut is a video editing tool for short videos. Copilot is built into the app. I am creating a series of being in the light, being with the light. I CREATED THIS. PROFESSOR COPILOT IS MY GUIDE, AND I CREATED EVERYTHING.

The Cairn Beside the Lake
And so it came to pass that King Ertharion, Tenth King of Lombaia, stood beside the still lake below unrelenting and unassailable cliffs with the remainder of his harried host. In what was the tenth year of his reign and his forty-fourth upon this great green earth, Menigo the Betrayer, cousin of King Ertharion, pressed home his false claim.
