Each December I begin to write down,
           my yearly New Years pledge;
      each year that list seems to have grown,
                     oh, its very windy on this high ledge !

For I know all the pledges will not work,
          just like they failed before;
      I swear, I write them from my heart,
                   why not just get the old list from the drawer !

So this time I am writing just for fun-
          will not use a bank ATM;
      one day I tried five- for a $40 sum,
                  it left me in a breakdown of mayhem !

Will not buy from Facebook's Market Place,
           saw an item wanted;
     I must pick up- what a wild chase,
                  at last found it but the house looked haunted !

Will not eat pizza, cheese, peanut butter,
          'cause this stuff makes me sick;
      feeling like I ate a crater ...
                    I know that these simple pledges will stick !

Love this New Year Resolutions, Dear Constance, the promises which are realistic, and not too difficult to keep. We all have these little addictions - to pizza, to chocolate, or to Coke! Let's hope 2024 will be a great year for us with good health - physical and emotional. Your poems are brilliant, Dear Poetess, I read many times to be inspired! Love and Hugs ~

I love this and i can resonate so deeply,.. so many times we write resolutions and everytime we enter a new year it feels like we are repeating ourselves over and over again. I love the opening and also the last lines you always nail them, whatever you may write dear constance. I admire that. Sending you light always. Pleasure reading your work

'Will not eat pizza, cheese, peanut butter, 'cause this stuff makes me sick; feeling like I ate a crater" ...! This is exactly how I too feel when eating fast food with too much of cheese like burgers and pizza. Enjoyed much the humorous tone of your New Year Resolutions.
