Ode to New Year’s Eves



Others celebrate
the promise of a blank slate.
I watch from afar.

So am I jealous?
I most definitely am.
I want to party.

As I yearn to grasp
hope’s seductive promises,
loss appears instead.

The blank slate has you writing again.
That is good news.
I've missed your poems.
Personally, I preferred the original line regarding a body part!!!

Hilda, as I slowly emerge from my fog, poetry has once again begun to appear for me. Thank you for being a supportive reader.
