The Curtain Draws Poem by Arnee Akpan

Just like in a drama,
After every Act and Scene,
The curtain draws
The characters get to meet new people and become more developed with every new scene.

After Three Hundred and Sixty-Five days
The curtain draws
The scene has come to and end
And at the end of every scene,
Comes a beginning of a new adventure

For Fifty-Two weeks
I have sailed through the seas of the old year
I have searched for its treasures
Found some wonderful treasures from the old year like the Pirates of the Carribean

I only heard tales about the old year
But Now, I have seen and interacted with her
And my interview and chat with her is over
For I have to chat with a New Year
To be honest,
I am anxious, shy and excited
Because I am meeting the New Year for the first time
Should I begin our chat with
'What's up? '
Well I hope she has good gifts for me
Oh!
Before I forget
As the curtain draws
HAPPY NEW YEAR! ! !
