Write a poem about New Year’s traditions in your country. If you do not follow your country’s traditions, write about what the new year means to you.. We will write 5–7 lines of free verse for either subject.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
New year means I have to remember
To put 23 instead of 22 when writing the date
The weather is still cold, mornings are hazy and foggy
Sun comes up a bit earlier than before and set later
Kids are still off from school and we are enjoying our time together
New month means money in the account, groceries to buy
The humdrum daily life goes on just as before
⭐️⭐️⭐️
We don’t have and traditions that everyone observes on new year. Everyone does their own thing. And frankly, except for the date nothing much changes.

For me that’s the case. Perhaps I’ve become jaded with age.

Nope… It’s not age 😁 Going into the first few weeks of school, the learners have to remind me it’s a new year because I end up writing the old year for the date🙈😁

I will be writing the wrong date for some time (lol!). Otherwise, much stays the same and I don’t mind the routines that are a part of day-to-day life.

After the ‘holidaze’ – if there is such a thing as normalcy returning… Less crowds, holiday references of any kind (Oh… wait now things are up for Valentines already!!).
