Listen to poem:
Half 'n Half Year 2026
Beware half-measures in next year's stern embrace.
The specter of failure is what we all must face.
For calendar year 2026, is clearly divided in two—
with two half-years, set to fault whatever we do.
You'll lose if you pause mid-breath, to grasp fresh air,
caught between two halves in unfinished despair.
A road taken half-heartily becomes a roundabout,
spiraling nowhere, lost in fear and doubt—
Half-built bridges crack beneath the weight they bear.
Belief alone can't span the gaps left way up there.
When effort falters mid-stride, the ending slips away—
Half a dream casts a shadow, that haunts you day-by-day.
So step into this half 'n half year with a resolute stride.
Let nothing be done in half-measure, hidden, weak, or set aside.
If you start on shaky footing, the year will call your bluff—
For 2026 is to be a ruthless year, when half done is never enough.
