New Year's Sonnet

We write down ways to better ourselves

Something of a simple little checklist

With ideas before the clock strikes twelve

A shift in a world in which we exist

Surrounding us are many foods and drinks

As well as people that make us smile

That, during this switch, our glasses, we clink

Some from next door, others, many miles

We all brace for the metamorphosis

We’re all watching, talking, hoping, waiting

All of us hope for a little more bliss

Some groups are friends, others might be dating

As the clock ticks, the party grows more fun

Happy new year – let’s make it a great one
