Notes About The Poem

My 2023 Resolutions

in regards to my new resolutions ...
          there are the usual ... eat healthy, exercise, drink more water
        that all goes really good until about March
      but, this year I will add
            write better
and do art, drawing and painting

~  and this involves practice, practice, practice, practice each day
and I will work on my photography art also
        and plan to let go of time, need, want and must ~  

      I wish to read poetry books
        and art books, nature books, and biographies also
I love doing research so I will
discover poets of old and be inspired by their style
            and write, write, write ...

~  walking with no destination and my camera ready
          resurrect going on city walks that I loved to do
and go to the art gallery weekly ~

I will grow in my faith
      finding my serenity and my tranquility
          I will continue to follow the path of Tao
      will meditate and ponder my life
         will purge from my life all things not required
      that includes people ... who add nothing to my growth
discover the 'person' I am meant to be ...

~ find what is my style ... am I retro or am I vintage
neither, I am whimsical, a bit of both entwined
     my style ... says this is who I am world
               now, watch me fly ~ ...
