Life is hard
and sometimes unfair
it deals the card
without a care

I work hard for my money
and always up and about
there is still no time for my honey
makes me want to shout!


So this is my Resolution:
Gonna start a new career in Prostitution

The Wilted Wreath

A stamp from afar was found in the mail,
The male in my life was saying goodbye,
Goodbye! in shreds I put in the trash pail,
Pale fragments of worthless words from that guy.
Guy I hooked to his car, soon it’s a wreck,
Reckless fury to erase every rote,
Wrote an adios to my life’s bad check,
Check resolution, Bahamas I vote.


*wreath form-end word starts the next line, or some format thereof......LOL It is an old form of poetry from the 17th century or earlier.

I think that my existing destitution
has caused my sickly constitution
although I fear God's retribution
not giving up the prostitution
has to be my resolution.

[Carolly]

Why cant I look away from those cakes
Why cant I stop eating all those flipping flakes
Those Indian meals are so very nice
But oh gawd yet again another vice
Roast potatoes ......goodness I love them so much
Why cant I make a New Years resolution that all this I will not touch
I look at the salad so boring I have to say
Oh to hell with it...........Im gonna order a takeaway!!

A Cry for Help

Resolution, Resolution
O! Please grant the grand solution
I cannot possibly do it myself
Without help from above

Resolution please help me shun
Habits and people and things that are fun
Patterns that keep me from stopping myself
These habits that I love!

[Chezzie]

These new year’s resolutions
Are difficult, at best,
But there’s something I can do each day
That will put my soul at rest
Log into Forum Garden every day and have my say

On writing a poem

what word rhymes with resolution,
and makes sense with no confusion?
no good putting down "contusion",
there has to be a good solution
All else is just illusion.
