2022 November PAD Chapbook Challenge: Day 27
For the 2022 November PAD Chapbook Challenge, poets are tasked with writing a poem a day in the month of November before assembling a chapbook manuscript in the month of December. Day 27 is all about resolutions.
For today's prompt, write a resolution poem. Your poem could be about the kind of resolutions people make each new year, new month, new week, or new day. But it could also cover the resolution of a problem or situation. For instance, the resolution of a feud or late payment.
Remember: These prompts are springboards to creativity. Use them to expand your possibilities, not limit them.

Here’s my attempt at a Resolution Poem:
“The Game”
Every year, whether here or there,
we gather to watch The Big Game,
and every year, both here and there,
the two teams playing are the same.
Sometimes we win, sometimes lose,
and the other team's fate is the same;
we may feel a high or suffer the blues,
but we always watch The Big Game.
