Year Fled Beyond
The year fled beyond the horizon in a fast day.
Out went festive colors and in crept January gray.
I felt relief at the old gone and the new arrived.
But loathe to make resolutions so contrived,
I ponder the beauty of decisions delayed.
Dare to challenge oneself, but hold this truth dear
Balance joy with work and watch with eyes clear.
As artist soaks soul into painting with good cheer,
Judge not yourself as you embrace the new year.

@Danceinsilence ..slightly I've begun sketching again..but I have to be much more aggressive in writing fiction again this year.

eMan ... forgive but I do this from time to time ... rethink the word aggressive ... as defined aggression is being: ready or likely to attack or confront; characterized by or resulting from aggression ... synonyms that tag to aggressive: hostile, belligerent, bellicose, antagonistic, truculent; another definition: pursuing one's aims and interests forcefully, sometimes unduly so ... beware how you go about your writing, keep your intent clear and focused and never lose sight of how you feel the reader may react, just as we would when reading other authors ... if you care to ... you can go to my store and get a free copy of Creative Writing ... there are dozens of good ideas, hints and tricks to up one's game.
