HAPPY NEW YEAR IN ADVANCE

jvl narasimha rao

New year’s Day is just another day

I celebrate it in a different way

Don’t want to send greetings

And visit friends' houses

 

I don’t believe in the ritual

A festival should be more spiritual

I don’t spend a day merrily

And the next day worriedly

 

I don’t want to voraciously eat food

Like animals in the wood

And pay visits  to  officers'houses

To give costly flower bouquets

 

Instead I want to introspect

With A RETROSPECTIVE EFFECT

What did I do last year?

Were my goals really clear?

 

I will plan for the New Year

And implement it without any fear

Set very small things as my target

And try to reach them as a rocket

    Excellent! I enjoyed your perspective on the incoming year! The image you put with it is fitting; The second half of your second stanza reminds me of your Christmas poem....nicely put!
