New Year's Resolutions
Winds shriek down the narrow lane,
mist covers many a window pane,
holding smears and dust at bay,
while camouflaging rut and decay.
The newscasters predict heavy snow.
Temperatures dip to zero and below,
inviting the flu and common cold
into putting holiday cheers on hold.
Sizzling hot fireworks light up the sky.
People seek cover to stay warm and dry,
tucking past year’s missed goals away,
to recycle them on New Year's Day.
