Jerry Brotherton Poet Haibun

Another Year, Another Disappointment

Day one of this brand-new year is in the books now. It seems like it was just yesterday that I was running around, proclaiming that 2023 was going to be the best year ever. Or at least, better than 2022. Yet here I am once again hoping that that you will light the way to a better future. So let me give a toast to 2024…may she live up to the greatness we are expecting from her.

                              No change can be seen
                      when heads are stuck in the sand
                                look toward Heaven
