Two thousand twenty-five will be here soon-
and as tradition, it's the time to say
what is my promised wish to start anew
with resolutions that are made to stay.
Something important that will make a change
on how I like to spend my brand new day-
not to awake with passion to write words;
just steer my talents in another way.
When I begin a poem, I soon find
that many hours may pass as I delay
the other things still waiting to be done.
It's best to choose leftover time to play.
And so, my New Year's wish- to wake up strong-
forget the visions dancing in my head!
Replace the rhymes and meter with a list
of all the things I need to do instead!
And my reward will be, at each day's end,
my wish stayed true and I can say hooray!
But somehow I believe my heart will ache-
and soon the muse in me will not obey!
