Oh 2025
You stretch before me
On unwritten pages
Clean
Fresh
Full of hope
I wrote a prayer in you
To start things off
Opening you
Pressing you flat
Birthdays and
Other reminders
Are scattered throughout
But I know
(as do you)
There is more to come
By December 31
You will be full
Of occasions
Good
Bad
Happy
Sad
Momentous
Minute
Life
In a book
Written by me
Dear 2025 planner
Come with me on my travels
Bear witness to my events
Remind me
Always
Of what is important
This is my response to this week’s W3 prompt: write an ode.
Hot Dogs and Marmalade 
Sally I really like how you end the ode with to bear witness and remind of what’s important … we so easily forget … nice one 💕
This is a very well written poem Sally
I have so many of my calendars from past year’s saved, they act as a diary of sorts. The last few years I’ve gone digital, and it may be convenient, but it’s not the same. Wonderful ode, Sally! 💞💞💞
So true, my 2025 planner is ready to go. No electronics for me. Paper & pen are my tools
“Life in a book written by me” We sometimes forget how important our planners are! This is wonderful ode!
I love your poem, Sally! Very creative!
