i resolve not to be a sunflower
and blossom on my own terms

i resolve to be a bull
that charges determinedly at its goals

i resolve not to be a caterpillar
that only looks forward to its metamorphosis

i resolve to be the firefly
in someone's darkness whirlpool

i resolve to
(er, maybe i would talk about that
IF i try to fulfill the above four directions)

challenge:write your own new year resolutions poem!

Wow! That line about not waiting for one's metamorphosis hit me right between the eyes! Powerful section, especially!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

LOL, that's quite a challenge. How about this?
I resolve to stop making useless resolutions I have no intentions of resolutely following though with at the time I make them.
And how about shorter sentences? LOL.
Have a great safe and fun holiday season, my friend.

I alwayz bite off more than I could swallow, and this year is no different. Instead of just one 'safe' resolution, I got myself a list.

I've posted my own resolutions too...

Your boldness speaks clearly...reminds me of extrovert versus introvert...and you made your choice. I enjoyed reading this.

we all need a little more "bull" in ourselves.
That is my favorite line.
