Dear 2021

 

Dear 2021

I am wary.
I can't celebrate
you as a whole.
Look too far
down the road.

The old year threw
a sucker punch that
landed everywhere,
put us on the ropes,
took our breath away.

So, I need to
celebrate day-by-day
with a smile in
the morning and a
thank you at night. 

Then, on your 
Dec. 31st, I'll look
back on all the days. 
I hope I will be   
sad to see you go.

Happy New Year! Thank you for reading poetry for another year.

Santas on the Run

Santas on the Run

The street is

filled with Santas

on the run.

The only

similarities

among them are

red caps and coats.

They are

tall and short,

slight and stocky.

They hit their

own stride, set

their own pace.

Visions of the

finish line dance

in their heads.

The reindeer

sit back and smile.

This will be my last post of 2015. I wish you all Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year. I'll see you back here Jan. 5, 2016.

Take a Look Back

Take a Look Back

Look back through

the lenses of

time and space

and a different place.

Take what will

help you in

the future and

let everything

else go.

Move forward

using what

you now know.

Happy New Year!
