Timothy Mattson Poet Rhyme

The First Day

Ahh ... day 1 is upon us, and it's fairly 
    Chilly on this new year.
        As I try to collect some warm words,
            While avoiding to shed a tear.

Now if tradition is to be my guide,
    Following resolutions here to make.
        Then my efforts to correct some failings,
            Will bear fruit if I partake.

So with some sober and conscious analysis,
    This listing grows by volume and length.
        Where I quickly come to realize,
            That overcoming flaws takes great strength.

Here my thoughts of will power,
    Begin eroding and chipping away.
        At all the corrective measures ...
            After all, I can procrastinate another day.
