Happy New Year From the Unicorns

So far I've done everything I could possibly do this year. I've given thorough thought to cleaning up my act. These early-day hours have been rough-house The storm shudders inside me are all grimy, they need tending to, I just need to find them first. So tired from last night, Riding unicorns through the stars. (No one believes me.) Trouble is we're all blinking too fast for our own good as it is. I've done everything I've promised to do this year, so far, And I haven't even made the promises yet. That's how interesting I've been lately. You have no idea how hard it is to be this interesting. Riding Bellyglow through the thrushes of song birds... I probably don't know, either. What a bucket of letters this is. Thanks for Peking, thanks for Hong Kong. Happy New Year.

"The bucket of letters" offers a wonderful and witty poem. All will seek to share the "riding unicorns through the stars" via the moon.

My New Year Resolution is to get fatter. Your poem releases me from my guilt about that.

I especially like the part where he says, "he's kept all of the promises but hasn't made any yet" (paraphrasing). I do love humor. Nice poem.

"Riding unicorns through the stars. (No one believes me.)" very good job bringing to life the feeling of the night before and its ridiculousness no matter the reason to kill the pain or escape to the unicorns. hehe. anyway. if im missing the point here please do explain. great stuff here though. WRITE ON! (p.s. i can use actual punctuation and stuff and i do in my own writing i just dont in little internet comments and such **huggles**

Sounds like you are ending the year on an up note. Very cleverly written, but don't pile too much on the last night to complete. Thank you.
