a rustic broom
scenting our hearth and home
with cinnamon …
less sweet, the year's debris
I ought to sweep away

Well, it's finally gotten cold here again. And now the heating system (including the backup heater) appears to be broken once more. So, maybe not the best way to end 2016! But the good news: it's supposed to warm up this weekend for a little while.
What a great New Year's poem! Wishing you a wonderfully warm 2017!
ReplyDeleteYou too!
DeleteA lovely layered metaphorical tanka. So appropriate to the end of this year and the beginning of 2017. Happy New Year's, Janet.
ReplyDeleteHappy 2017 to you as well!
DeleteWe all have some of that debris.
ReplyDeleteHappy 2017
