Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen Poet Acrostic

Happy New Year

HAPPY New Year 

Happy hours whole-heartedly hold to habitual hilarities.
Abandoned attitudes and aspirations are assessed as antiquity.
Party partakers posing for pictures postpone philanthropy.
Preliminary performances playfully present pasts poetically. 
Yesterday's yearnings yield to Yuletide yelps for yonder years.
 
Necessity notices not nations’ nicest New Year's nights.
Elegance eludes excessive extravagance effectively.  
Waste not… Want not… Work lots… Win!  

Yesterdays years yielded yellow-yarrow yawns.
Every exploration envisioned endless eons.
Annual ambitions are articulated, and appraised. 
Resolutions 2010 respectfully resolve righteousness rules!
