A New Year Poem by John Sensele

A new year calls for courage
To start anew
To clear any fear and baggage
That held down your crew with flu.

A new year, my dear
Asks you and your friends too
To set new targets and steer
Away from any blues with a clear clue.

A new year sues no tears
But requires you to inquire in your mind
Whether your peers
Encourage or discourage you from growing blind and unkind.

A new year springs a ring
Emblazoned in hope
For your and yours to sing and cling
To freedom beyond a hangman's slope.
