Notes About The Poem

Revolving Resolution

Written by Gail DeBole

Zelma Zotz's new year's contribution
Is to think of a definite solution
   To avoid making a plan
   (which she really can't stand)
For yet another new year's resolution!

Note: Illustrated in Coloring within the Limericks available on Amazon.com and other retail websites.

Gail's Note:  You can find some historical information about the history of the new year's resolution at http://www.examiner.com/article/history-of-new-year-s-resolutions.

Welcome Gail - I love to read and write limericks. Keep at it and it will get easier with every write. Do try to find 3 different rhyming words rather than reusing one for the last line.

Hi Mike - I changed the "resolution" in the first line to "contribution." Thanks again for your advice! - Gail

Hello to All Poetry Soupers - I just found this community of creative souls early in 2012 so I still consider myself a newbie. Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to read my poetry. I certainly have enjoyed and learned from reading your poetry. May your holidays be full of happiness and love! - Gail
