Munday on Monday: Resolutions revisited

My resolutions seemed so true

When year was shiny, polished, new.

I’d made a list — I’m in a groove —

My character to thus improve:

Yes, stunning change seemed possible

With countless paths deemed crossable.

But slogging, as the months ensue,

I found my dreams were tramped like dew.

The hopes of January’s cheer

Now steep in deep December’s drear.

One consolation will exist:

Such time has passed, I’ve lost my list!
