New Year’s Resolutions

My usual resolutions,

like all I vowed in New Years past,

proved my habits have poor solutions

for those that I chose all  failed to last.

And I now find my aging mind

has affected my memory.

So I’m inclined those traits maligned

can fade and let my conscience be.

 

Friday’s Senryu {Deception}

Miscreants deceive,

and callous wiles oft achieve...

targets can but grieve.

 

Our Covid Christmas

Christmas is near, and cards to friends

renew our bonds prove warmth still blends.

If  kith and kin must stay at home,

our cards with love are to them flown.

 

 

Trump’s Modus Operandi

When The Don finds he’s in trouble,

he sues for a lot of money.

If they withdraw brags go viral...

a loss activates his fury.

 

The Stock Market 

Mammon guides its wavered course.

Greed vies to be its power source.

There egos ‘wry would woo the high

                             then doff and fly without remorse.

 

Friday’s Haiku {Problems} 

Time moves on...can’t wait

to solve what we meditate...

for most it’s too late.

 Season's Greetings

          Tis the season to remember

the kith and kin we hold so dear.

Keep in mind all the good times shared

will always in our hearts stay near.

For all of the fond memories

of yesterday or yesteryear,

we wish for them this season’s prayer,

“May God bequeath you peace and cheer.”
