Notes About The Poem

New Beginnings

New Year’s Eve,
resolution made.
New diet,
I’ll try it!
Must turn over a new leaf
when the spring arrives.


Fictional write for contest - I never make resolutions and have never been on a diet!

Suzanne Delaney January 13, 2016 at 11:51 AM Congratulations Jan: Dieting is probably the top resolution on everyone's list. I am glad that you placed. For some reason Kim N/A'd mine. Not sure where I went wrong. Don't want to complain to her, though. Jan Allison January 13, 2016 at 3:46 PM Oh I'm sorry you didn't place Suzanne - it may be worth asking why - sometimes it can be a glitch it has happened to me several times... having just read your poem again I cant see any obvious errors:-( Hugs Jan xx
