Day Twenty-Napowrimo-Carpe Diem

NaPoWriMo:write a poem informed by musical phrasing or melody, that employs some form of soundplay (rhyme, meter, assonance, alliteration). One way to approach this is to think of a song you know and then basically write new lyrics that fit the original song’s rhythm/phrasing.

I went along with something spontaneous and followed the impulse without pondering too much. I have been unwell for quite some time now, and so some days are still tiresome and taxing.

Here's my take on the Day Twenty prompt:

Day Twenty-Napowrimo-Carpe Diem

Gather Ye Rosebuds While Ye May, by John William Waterhouse-1909

Think of all things nice
Light, soft, and not a tinge of vice
Join in the summer slumber
I might order a juice or two
