Hopes or Resolutions
I think my poems will be condensed
as the new year has commenced.
Is this another resolution
about curbing wordy pollution?
I think i may have said too much
about prejudices and such.
If i keep on harping on it,
i’ll use a fourteen line sonnet.
For my deeper philosophy
you may hear a lot more from me.
Perhaps less rhyme and more reason;
but my homelies aren’t treason.
If these promises are broken,
one more frail human has spoken.
