Happy New Year (An Acrostic)

How Humans now celebrate the Winter Solstice

And herald a new three hundred sixty five days

Perhaps they go skiing, or just for a drive

Party till dawn, oh, there are so many ways

You’d have been a year older, in olden days


Now we have football all the day through

Excitement and movies, always sumthin’ new

We’d have been a year older, in olden days


You wait in the morning for the Rose Parade

Eat, drink and be merry for one more off day

At the mercy of weather, or inside and warm

Revealing these years are more modern days

The contest is over and the winners were announced on the 22nd. Your poem is excellent. If you go to Contests:by Members there are more contests you might wish to enter. Love, Carol

I had thought there was a contest looking for this poem. If you are the instigator of this contest, I was snowbound for 2 days without internet access to get it in. I'll understand if it can't be included, but I hope it will be. If by chance there was no such contest, then I just hope you like this one.
