New Year Poetry

Waiting for the new near takes a lot of patience and makes you feel nervous. The new year can make you feel lonely, and it makes you feel sad. Other times waiting for the new year can make you feel frustrated. You might feel anxious about the changes the new year might bring. Yet, reading poetry before and after the new year begins can calm your nerves.

It might not take away all your worries and doubts. However, reading poetry for the new year can make you feel comfortable while you wait for the year to begin. Read a new year poem in the morning before starting your day. You can also read a new year poem at night before you go to sleep. No matter what hour you choose to read poetry, try to read slowly without rushing to read everything.

Feel the poet with the use of words and what they are trying to say through their poetry. After reading poetry, you might want to write your New Year’s poetry. As well as writing how, you feel as part of self-reflection of what you learned in the old year. It can help you with your healing process. Additionally, it can help you accept the negativity from the old year and start fresh before the new year begins.

Poetry for the new year makes you practice your creativity, your writing skills, and makes you learn about yourself. You can use poetry prompts to help you get ideas on what to write in your writing. Nevertheless, you might use the poetry prompts for fifteen minutes or less depending how much you want to write in your poems. Poetry prompts can be a useful tool if you are writing poetry for the first time. However, you can write what makes you feel comfortable and what you want to accomplish through your poetry.

Sharing your poetry is a fun way to spend an hour with your family as you wait for the new year to arrive. Your children can draw something to go with their poetry. You can also frame their poems with their drawings as a reminder of how you spent New Year’s Eve. Another way is by selecting a word from a word jar to help you write your poetry. Here are resources to help you write your new year poetry.
