Sandra Haight Poet Lyric

Notes About The Poem

Written, January 2, 2024
For The Contest, “Anacreontic Verse 5”
Sponsor, Edward Ebbs

The New Year- What's Next

It is here-
Twenty-Twenty-Four
a new book-
three hundred
and sixty-five
blank pages
to fill up.
All too fast
they'll unfold
to shape our world.
Will this new volume
answer questions-
fulfill promises
for a new year
more rewarding
than the last?
God, send us 
good judgment
to choose leaders
who will shape
a story
more uplifting
than last year's
discouraging-
written tale.
