Terry Flood Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Contest: Funny New Years Resolutions for 2024        Sponsor: Constance La France

27 December 2023

I Resolve

I’ll drink no more
I’ll smoke no more
I’ll swear no more my friends
I shall do these things no more
The day this old year ends

I’ll hate no more
Be late no more
Or gamble any more
Once a brand new year has put its foot inside my door

All these things I’ve done before
But I’m prepared to guess
Though I won’t do them any more
I shall not do them less

Lin Lane December 26, 2023 at 4:40 PM Status quo on resolutions. I’d expect nothing more or less from you, Terry. ;-) Terry Flood December 26, 2023 at 4:45 PM Thanks, Lin. I wrote the bones of this a year ago for a similar contest but wasn’t too sure about it. Suddenly I’m struggling for ideas so, I dug it up, brushed it down, gave it a tweak here and there and set it free. Glad you enjoyed. Hope you had a stupendous Christmas. Terry
