Poetic Thursday: Happy New Year!

2023 is coming to a close, and this is the final Poetic Thursday of the year.

Our hosts, Pam, Teddy and Angel Sammy, at Two Spoiled Cats, gave us this festive photo for our inspiration this week. (If you look closely, you’ll see that the image has been reversed, and there’s handwriting at the top.  I flipped the photo, and it reads: “Mr. & Mrs. J. T. Cunningham”. I don’t know who the Cunninghams were, but they apparently were revelers). 

Here’s my poem:

Happy New Year!

I’d like to ask if you’ll be my date?
There’s a new year we need to celebrate.

We’ve done this together for quite a while;
that silly noisemaker still makes me smile.

Covered in streamers, just like years before;
we’ll share a kiss to welcome 2024!
