Ten seconds to go before I ring in the new year,

I balance on my left leg and let it appear.

On the last second of the countdown when the clock does strike,

To lay down my right foot is what I do like.

 

The trauma of 2020 behind my left foot I put,

And always start the new year off on the right foot.

A happy new year to all and sundry,

Let's hope 2021 will not be as thundery

 

Let the sun shine on us at Write Out Loud,

Revealing a poem to read under each cloud.

A cluster of words to improve our day,

And goodbye to 2020,here us all say.
