New year Poems
2025
by Rikske Kessner
In the still of night,
. . . a voice
becomes Dawn's first light
Where every shadow meets its end
Reverie ascends skyward:
a final page turned
, weary lines
of hope, once written
now unwind
......
New Year
by Abnish Singh Chauhan
“Wish you
a very happy new year”—
declared the lurid signboards
hanging by the roadside.
The same words echoed—
through cell phones,
on television screens,
in newspapers and magazines,
woven into grand stories
......
Kaleidoscope
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
With flying colors,
dancers whirl on New Year's Eve!
Hued sun sinks in black magic,
and a year grows too old.
Fireworks warp a world that's turning.
A Loved New Year
by Pratik Shaw
Just another year with new resolutions, happy faces, a sense of confidence, trust and enthusiasm..
Yet at the end of this cycle of these 365 days,52 weeks, 12 months, all these will again get converted to unfinished promises, sad faces, lack of confidence, disgust and idleness.. At max, a day might be passed in complete happiness, but let the sun set on it and the moon come out at midnight, your heart will still ache remembering your beloved and your long lost friends..
This might seem to be demotivating, but I have no such intention, I am being realistic.. Sweet words at the start of the year feel dead and left out at the end. People lose faith in humanity when people leave them for simple and sometimes no reason at all while others who still haven't achieved their love but still striving so hard, so marvelously, yet still their attempts seem to go in vain.
How those sweetest but pure indications of love are ignored and the unconditional efforts are not given notice!! How will that heart feel after so many failed attempts and when there come a time when due to a circumstance, they cannot make any further attempts?
If you start the year on a happy note, make sure you end it with greater enthusiasm, else you would just be repeating it over and over like a time loop and you will not gain anything.
And why do we wish people New Year as "Happy", you know what would be better? A"Loved New Year" where everyone feels that there are people craving their attention and their time, where people feel important, where before dying, we live and where before being loved, we love....
Have a Loved New Year...
To The New Year
by William Stanley Merwin
With what stillness at last
you appear in the valley
your first sunlight reaching down
to touch the tips of a few
high leaves that do not stir
as though they had not noticed
and did not know you at all
then the voice of a dove calls
from far away in itself
to the hush of the morning

Farewell to the old,toward the new
by Mario Odekerken
The year 2025 lays its days down,
marked by traces of what was attempted,
we close it without full understanding,
but with hands filled by experience.
At the edge of midnight we pause,
between what has been and what has no name yet,
time takes a quiet breath,
and releases us.

January the first
by Mario Odekerken
A thin morning opens the year,
streets holding their breath in pale light,
yesterday folded quietly away,
time standing still for a moment.
Cold air sharpens every thought,
footsteps echo with new intention,
the calender waits,clean and open,
and the day begins to move forward.
Dusk and Dawn
by Aloo Denish Obiero
End year’s dusk, new year’s dawn,
Lessons learned, new possibilities,
Gratitude fills the last page, anticipation pens the first,
Farewell old year, welcome new year.
