Autumn Leaves

volume 6 number 7

New
by Robert Lyle Temple

now is the time for something new
we have enough of what is old
razzle dazzle and frou-frou

all digital and not coucou
not magic woods with bridges trolled
now is the time for something new
a drink of marvelous fresh brew

effervescently kept cold
razzle dazzle and frou-frou
not tapestries now turning blue
pages yellowed that can't fold

now is the time for something new
who cares what Aristotle knew
what do latest studies hold
razzle dazzle and frou-frou

modernity must now eschew
what has faded, smells of mold
now is the time for something new
razzle dazzle and frou-frou
