Nette Onclaud Poet Rhyme

Goody Girl

A few things I resolve to do or dare
Lessen my gallons of soda intake;
The first ‘meal’ for breakfast, not the cornflakes…
Juice therapy would be New Year’s affair.

Yes, I’ll curb my late, night-owl affliction
And suppress reading books, just once a week
To calm my impulse..a healthy technique
Refraining self from this invitation.

Goody girl, that’s my 2015 name
Life is short, I’ll be a kinder person…
But rambling soda and late hours’ refrain
May not work. Loving deeper is more fun!

Rhoma Em December 18, 2014 at 12:34 PM Wow, I was captured by this wistful poem and made me reminisce about the goals I tried to pursue and the lack of action I took, a few times. Honest, articulate reflections, Nette.. keep the love, never mind the soda binge ( not too much)!
