New Year Resolutions
When the new year zaps us with our last year’s reflection,
it brings up all our defects and flaws for our detection.
It goads us to be better and to bend our crooked way
to plot a straighter game in life than we’ve been prone to play.
It’s January 1st that prods our consciences to make them,
giving us a whole long year in which to go and break them.
Word prompts are zap, play, reflection, goad and bend. Image, Kate Hliznitsova on Unsplash.

Nice work! I don’t even remember the last time I made New Year’s Resolutions, but I think it might have been 7th grade.

I’d wager most people don’t need a year to break them! 😆

Isn’t that just right. One day too make the resolutions and a year ahead to break them.
