A Prompt Resolution
by
Greg Pincus
I have a bad trait - I procrastinate.
Last year it was the worst:
The very first date that my work wasn't late
Was March the thirty-first.
I think the solution's a resolution,
So hear these words I speak:
"Elimination of procrastination
Starts soon! Perhaps next week!"
May you stick to all your resolutions... and may 2013 be filled with good health and happiness galore!

RESOLUTIONS
by
Gregory K.
Every year on New Year’s Day,
I grab myself a pen.
I write my resolutions down to look at now and then.
Two years ago, I’d written twelve.
I broke them all by June.
Last year I broke them faster still (the first of March at noon).
This isn’t great, I must admit,
But now I’ve got it solved.
And so, this year, on New Year’s Day, here’s what I have resolved:
Bug my dad, annoy my sis,
Distract my oldest brother.
Skip a chore, create a mess, and once ignore my mother,
Chew some gum, devour pie,
Eat burgers, fries, and cakes,
Teach my baby brother all the joys of chocolate shakes.
My resolutions could go on.
Instead, I’ll stop right here.
Just once I’d like to keep them all...
And this might be my year.
The first Poetry Friday roundup of the year is here over at A Year of Reading. Go on and check it out!

And Happy New Year!
Ha! Your poem makes me feel better that I still have all my Christmas decorations up (Jan. 4). Epiphany - that's it! I'm leaving them up for Epipahny.
Happy, Creative New Year, Greg!
