Carpe Diem!  

The newborn year scintillated my eyes
and in doing so begged that I rove the park.
Well, why would I deny such a prize
after spending too much time in the dark?
 
Then the light my eyes refined from the scene
spirited my carcass out the front door
with a robustly caffeinated careen
that declared all indoor places a bore!
 
The teasing welkin soon felt my embrace
as I gazed upon Apollo's chariot.
It's fresh caress on my wintery face
made me happy enough to marry it!
 
     Then Apollo told this midnight sonneteer,
     "Why seize a day when you can have the whole year!"
