A Joyous Toast Cornish Sonnet

Cornish Sonnet

The new year, another day on life's road,
To be passed without the weight of regret,
Nor looked upon as a thing to decode.
While its meaning holds fair reason and cause,
To sit at the table of year's banquette,
And gather one's breath from life, to pause.

We'll celebrate with a joyous toast,
Shortly passed from a year's harvest season.
A diversion that reads like a sign post,
And make lists of changes now pledged.
Clarify with debate, subtle reason,
For promises made last banquette, alleged.

The new year, another day on life's road.
We'll celebrate with a joyous toast.
