A poem for 2023

I still haven’t decided on a word for 2023, but I’m getting close. Even while writing a piece for my writing group on New Year’s Day, I just couldn’t settle on anything. More about that later, when I do finally have a word to share.

In the meantime, here is a poem for 2023. I had a little fun with the number 23 while writing it. Can you see the parameters I set for myself in writing this?

Me in ‘23

Twenty twenty-three 
Will see me:
Expand. Seek laughter.
Nurture. Create more. Find truth. 
Thank my friends. Progress. Write a lot. 
Yap less. Listen more. Just play. 
Truly love. Be brave. Elevate. Reflect. 
Harbor peace. Have fun. 
Respect all. Need less. Feel secure. 
Emerge. Be here now. 
Enjoy each moment.
