It is time for the first poem of 2020!
I have really enjoyed my poetry experiment so far and so I have decided to keep going with it through 2020. I will admit I am starting to enjoy poetry! However, it is still a limited selection of poems that I am enjoying. Let’s hope that 2020 will introduce me to more poems that I love.
I have gone for a poem by William Blake. The poem is about a new born and as we are in a new born year I thought it fitted well.
Infant Joy
‘I have no name:
‘I am but two days old.’
What shall I call thee?
‘I am happy am,
‘Joy is my name.’
Sweet joy befall thee!
Pretty joy!
Sweet joy but two days old,
Sweet joy I call thee:
Thou dost smile,
I sing the while,
Sweet joy befall thee!
William Blake
Happy Friday!
