Help Me With A 2021 Poem

Fuchsia on New Year’s Day!

 

Here’s my good riddance poem to last year.

2020 in Review

Get down
Low down
Up & down
Lockdown
Deep down
Downward spiral
Write it down
Economic downturn
Political breakdown
Upside down
Downtrodden
Knockdown drag out
Downtown marches
Beaten down
Lockdown
Down in the dumps
Down & out
Holiday markdowns
Lockdown
Roll over & lie down

I’m working on a poem for 2021 with the word “up.” So far I have uptick, upstart, upstanding. Add in your “up” suggestions to help usher in the new year with hope it will become as bright as my garden’s fuchsia.

    Happy New Year Jill!

    Here are a few to contemplate: upscale, upheaval, upstart, upcoming, upstream and uprising.

    Sounds like a great project!

    up in the air, up a tree, comeuppance, upward mobility, uppity, up a creek, pucker up

    I know I’m not too original, but it is fun. Thanks.
