New Year's Guest


Cleaning 
Sweeping
Vacuuming cleaning

Cooking
Chopping
Stir, no stopping

Sparkle
Glisten
Shiny new

This New Year Meal 
I made for you

I was too tired
To stay awake
to see the New Year in

But on January first
when you visit me
My New Year will begin.


(Day One - Month of Poetry. The photograph is of one of the three layers of osechi (traditional Japanese New Year's food) to share with our guests today. I am grateful to have started 2012 with such wonderful friends. )
