Poem Title:
Poem
My New Year Resolutions for twenty-twenty three will find me writing more limericks, and I foresee poems of a gentle nature and none about grief, for I vow this year I'm going to turn over a new leaf by not playing tit for tat games with a trivial motif. No longer will I read poems by anyone contentious, those who find my opinions sundry or dissentious. I promise to give more comments to those deserving and when on the road to animosity I'll be swerving. I'll find a positive crumb in what others say and think even if they say my poems are a waste of printing ink. I'll seek a silver lining when negativity hovers over me and add smiles to cups of soup to sweeten the recipe. I'll spend more time writing aural music for my lyrics without paying attention to the naysayers or critics. Writing is a sentimental journey traversed by the heart. Where it leads a composer or poet, is their work of art. I will find the time to celebrate life with lively dances. Some may laugh and mock me, but I'll take my chances and they might join me in having fun. In fact, I'd insist! There may be a few more resolutions to add to my list. I'd better print a copy and keep it on my kitchen fridge or I might be tempted to cheat a bit. Well, just a smidge when reaching for a snack, as I 've been known to do... and break a resolution I swear to keep, or maybe a few.
