Happy New Year!

Posted on January 1, 2013 by Catherine Johnson

Official leaders dinner.

Happy New Year!

From East to West

a sprinkling of colour

glows,

reflects,

carries us gently

to New Year’s door.

by Catherine Johnson, 2013.

Happy New Year everyone! It’s the first day of #MoP and this is my first poem. A poem a day for the month of January. Wherever you are and whatever you are doing, do it with joy and peace. Here’s to a great year.

Happy New Year, Catherine. I would appreciate it if you would send me an email, please. I have a couple of questions for you about 12×12 and I can’t find your address. Also, on my blog I left a wee message for you in my Happy New Year post.

What a great photo of fireworks over the Sydney Opera House! A poem a day would be quite a challenge for me…maybe a haiku a day…hmmm. Oh, a *real* challenge would be a limerick a day…LOL!

Happy New Year, Catherine!

  I’m so going to hold you to that, Teresa. Month of haiku is February I’ll find out if you have to register.
