Poem with a subliminal message …

Selected poems

Resolution

Having failed to keep
A new year’s resolution for
Pretty much ever, this year I resolve to
Play it safe. The trick is to know
Your limits. Keep it simple.

Now what I resolve to do is to
Eschew a poetic form. Abstain from
Writing an acrostic for a whole

Year. A resolution, I think,
Easily done. Eminently achievable.
A piece of cake. Oh,
Rats.

    I love it, as a Roger and reader of Roger’s thesaurus I am amused, titilated, humoured, entertained.

    Thank you – Happy New Year, Bonne année, Feliz Ano Novo.

    “This is one I 

    Had read, as it’s

    At the start of the 

    New book, but please

    Keep sending me

    Some of your favourites.

    It was good to see you

    Last week, and

    Over the course of

    Various seasons,

    Enjoyed seeing you last

    Year and hope for many more this year, though

    Obviously what lies ahead is

    Unpredictab”

    Thank you again, Brian!
