Happy New Year!
Take a breath…
Don’t swallow the sun
The moon isn’t bright enough…
I promise I’ll be a better person this time next year.
If you’re reading this…
Congratulations, you’re alive.
If that’s not something to smile about, then I don’t know what is.
― Chad Sugg, from “Swallow the Sun” in Monsters Under Your Head

- Post inspired by: “I am grateful for what I am & have. My thanksgiving is perpetual. It is surprising how contented one can be with nothing definite — only a sense of existence.” ~ Henry David Thoreau, The Correspondence of Henry David Thoreau: Volume 2 1849-1856
- And inspired by this Haiku: “new year’s eve – / in the echo of fog horns / another voyage starts” ~ Keiko Izawa (via Lit Verve)
Resolutions. Day 1.
Today I want
to resolve nothing.
I only want to walk
a little longer in the cold…
– Kim Addonizio, from “New Year’s Day” in Tell Me
Notes:
- Inspired by Lucille Clifton, “I am running into a new year” (via Read a Little Poetry): i am running into a new year / and the old years blow back / like a wind / that i catch in my hair / like strong fingers like / all my old promises and / it will be hard to let go / of what i said to myself / about myself…
