Proceed With Caution

Proceed With Caution

On the edge of winter,
Someone said,
Let’s slice it clean
                Just here.
This is old.
                This is new.
It seems arbitrary,
But I look both ways
Before I venture forth
Into the new year.
Just in case
That ball comes
Crashing down
                On my head. 

Happy New Year everyone!

  4. I'm with Stephen. Well, not with him. But my comment should echo his. Or like that guy who lived next to a house decorated like a Vegas casino. The guy just put up a sign with an arrow pointing to the neighbor's display and the word . . DITTO. So, that's what I meant. Ditto Stephen's comment.

  8. OH, my gosh! What a wonderful poem. And isn't that just what we'd like to do? It's the old, "That was then, this is now" approach to life. Begone, old year! I suppose it's not that easy, but sometimes I wish it were.

    Best wishes to you both for a wonderful 2014. One of my resolutions is to be a little more attentive to getting around to other folks' blogs. It's a far better resolution than losing weight or swearing to keep the house clean!

I woke up not feeling well and skipped church (for the second week in a row - oops), but that doesn’t keep me from being deep in the throes ...
