The Life & Ramblings Of A Zillennial

As The New Year Approaches

people toasting wine glasses | As The New Year Approaches | I Won

The days grow shorter

And the nights grow longer

The winds grow colder

And all you want is to hold her

 

Another year come and gone

So much to celebrate and so much to mourn

A lot achieved and some goals pushed under the rug

Now all that’s left is a New Years Eve kiss and hug

About “As The New Year Approaches”:

Okay, why didn’t anyone tell me writing a book is this hard? Urgh, I’m so mentally exhausted. I feel like a machine constantly churning out words but I can’t stop because the words won’t stop coming. I had to write a poem today since I didn’t have the energy to write anything else. And it’s not even a good poem. But I think it’s nice and makes sense since we’re approaching the new year.

The weather is getting colder and windier in Nairobi. They cut down some lovely trees near my house so there’s just so much wind now. It makes me mad but what can you do.

Anyway, “As The New Year Approaches” is just a fun poem I thought I would share today. Not one that’s going to go in my biography someday (lol) but fun to write nonetheless. Christmas and Boxing Day are officially over. How did yours go? Did you have a merry Christmas? How did you spend Christmas? We just watched Home Alone & Home Alone 2. Are you prepared for the New Year? What are your plans for New Years Eve? Let me know in the comments below. Or simply stop by and say hi.

Ps. this poem has two verses, I hope it’s not just a mush on the Reader because that happens sometimes.

    I love your poem. Very well written Pooja. It was business as usual here except we got a long weekend and there were lots of marriages to attend.

    Wow, I love your poem, Pooja! It struck a chord with me, one from back in the 1980s. People need to stop cutting trees down, they are crucial to our survival and others too. Why is Boxing Day observed there? Is it a British thing somehow? Just curious, Pooja.

      Thank you! Yes, I agree. And these trees were so old too. It must have taken decades to grow them. I was so disappointed to see them cut down. Yes, I believe Boxing Day is British and these days people just have sales on Boxing Day. It’s supposed to be a day to donate to the less fortunate but now people just buy stuff on sale.

    It’s a damn fine poem and very appropriate! Hang in there on the writing. Even though it can be exhausting, you are clearly very talented at it.
    Had a decent Christmas here. Went to my aunt’s house for dinner, hung out with the family and then played some video games at night. Today I did not do much because I ate way more than my fill yesterday lol
    Going into 2024, I will be starting a course at a local college next week with an eye toward getting an associate degree. Will also be looking for a new job in a hopefully much nicer environment. I have a good feeling about things overall and relish the new challenges.

        I, for one, am glad you’re getting your writing out there. I have quite enjoyed what I’ve read so far.
        I’m starting off with an 8-week computer skills course just to sharpen the saw and pick up some new tricks. It will help get me used to being in a classroom setting again. My next step is to speak with an advisor about pursuing an associates in business. It will help immensely since I intend to stay in management, at least for now.

            I’ve picked up some at my former job, but with the speed at which things change, I feel some focused education will be a real benefit.

            I’ve been working as a team lead and supervisor for about 6 years now. and truly like it. The challenge of getting a team together and focused on a common goal is very satisfying. All that said, I am also taking this opportunity to expand my horizons and try new things. Like writing lol

              Yeah, I think there’s always something new we can learn even if we’ve worked in the field before. Plus, more education may mean better work opportunities in the future.

              Trying new things is always a good idea. Hope you’re enjoying writing so far. I may be bias but it’s just the best lol.

                      Funny enough that much like we often need to forgive ourselves and move on from our mistakes, a lot of us also need to learn to enjoy and be proud of our creations, ideas, etc. Or at least find some satisfaction in knowing we did our best.

    Incidentally, they cut down a very big tree right not far from my window recently because it bothered the utility poles. I have felt bad about it since as a person growing up in the Steppe, trees were treated as mythical, god like creatures that should not be cut down. Anyway, wish you all the best with your book and I can’t wait to buy it and read it.

    The poem resonated with me.

    I had two turkey dinners in two days, so maybe I am turning into a turkey now (if I wasn’t one already). Catching up on visits with old friends has been nice.

    I plan to get some writing done before the new year.

    Not at all a mush. I try to stay out of those, but a micromush lol is just fine. It’s just keeping the mind practicing and progressing. I always thought to some of the great writers in the world and their reasoning that every piece wont be a hit, but consistency showing up is the goal.

    For me, during the holiday season, planning content has always been a drag, unless something inspiring comes out of nowhere and I need to share. Too many Christmas’s have passed to battle, especially once we passed 5 Christmas’s, and it’s the end of the year, I will fight the fight in January. lol

    May the winds of change bring laughter to your days,
    As the new year approaches in delightful ways.
    May your words flow freely, like a river so grand,
    And may creativity dance at your command.

    In the chilly Nairobi breeze, find warmth and cheer,
    As you write your tales, make each word crystal clear.
    May your energy replenish like a wellspring anew,
    Bringing joy, success, and dreams that come true.

    May the trees of inspiration grow tall and strong,
    As you navigate the chapters, short and long.
    Embrace the fun, let the words be your guide,
    In this literary journey, may joy and wit coincide.

    I liked the poem and it’s very timely. Christmas Day was great. I got to spend it with extended family and had a yummy dinner. Boxing Day was at home and peaceful. No concrete plans for NYE yet but I’m sure I’ll find something to do to ring in the new year. Looking forward. Happy New Year when it comes!

    Wonderful blog post Pooj my friend. Well, I can’t say the poem was horrible but it was okay. It resonates with the upcoming new Year. It is actually romantic, any girl would blush if men like us flirted like this😂😋, haha.

    Great stuff💯

    That is a beautiful poem, Pooja, and one I can relate to. Our Christmas was peaceful except there was a blackout for 3 hours. At least the weather was mild and not freezing at 9 F like last year. We have no special plans for NYE and prefer to stay at home rather than be out and around with the crazies.

    Writing a book can be stressful and try to stay calm and take it one step at a time. 💖

      Thank you so much. It’s good the weather wasn’t too bad although the blackout sounds inconvenient. We usually go to more quiet places for NYE too or stay home. Not a fan of partying.

      Thanks, I’m trying to do that but sometimes I still get a little stressed out haha 💕

    Writing a book is hard. (You said no one had told you.) I’m sorry about the trees. It’s awful they were cut down. Natural wind-breakers, aren’t they? I like the poem. I find the first verse (yes, two verses came through) especially to have impact. And what is Boxing Day? I tried to look it up and came away unclear about it. Maybe I should ask, What do you do for Boxing Day? It seems there are variations. Anyway, your poem has me thinking about New Year’s, so may I say here: Pooja, Happy New Year!

      Finally, thank you for saying that lol.

      Yes, trees are great. Now it’s all windy and dusty. From what I know, Boxing Day was meant to be about charity but now we just have big sales and people go shopping. We don’t like to shop much so we just stay home and relax. Thanks and Happy New Year to you as well!

    I liked the poem. I see that you don’t mind turning out a poem quickly and easily when your energy is low that you’re not fully satisfied with. For myself, to turn out a poem that I’m not satisfied with is a catastrophe (hyperbole) sort of. I don’t think I can do a poem on low energy (low energy is reserved for pre-New Years suicide plans which don’t always rhyme). Last year I did this:

    December is a speculation;
    it looms over
    the fabric of destiny

    December is the
    death of a year.

    Death in the winter is cool.
    ’tis the dead leaves who fertilize the soil
    but it is the trees who cry
    when vandals collect leaves and leave

    Death in the winter is cool.
    Of December more.

    Jazz in winter is cool too, yeah
    December improvises with snow gone fluffy
    where syncopated fluffy dogs scamper in snow tones
    of blues in raggy times where snow jobs make poor
    December the con game, optimism as a debt
    Better to be in Australia.

      That’s an interesting poem. I don’t know if Australia is that much better (I have a lot of cousins there) when it comes to weather but definitely less snowy. Unfortunately, the holidays can be a tough time for many. Sending you a virtual hug.

    Writing a book is a journey that is sometimes smooth and sometime rough. I know. I have experienced those ups and downs. But taking time to write a poem is a nice break and I liked your poem 🙂

      Yes, I am finding the final few days quite difficult as I’m suddenly much less satisfied with my writing. The perfectionist in me has taken over. It was a nice break and I’m glad you liked the poem 🙂

    I think writing simple poems gives your brain a break from focusing too much on a major project. And I think it’s a win win situation.
    It keeps the creative juices flowing.

    I’m working on a book too. However, my problem is I’m always fighting for time. Work eats up more than half the day especially on the days when I have emergency duty and surgeries. By the time I come home, I’m exhausted. I sometimes don’t even have the energy to sit and open my laptop and write. Do you have any advice on how to manage time better? 😅

      That’s true, I think it’s refreshing to write simple poems sometimes.

      Time is definitely a big issue and I think it would be harder for you since you work in the medical field. It’s definitely tough but I would say keep writing as much as you can even if it takes a while to complete, all the hard work will be worth it 😊

    Very fun poem Pooja. Christmas day was wonderful for me. I got to be with my close family and see my one year old great-niece. The last time I saw her was last Christmas when she was just over two months old. Time sure flies when you live four hours away and are busy. It sounds like your Christmas was relaxing. I hope that the new year is good to you and your family.
