To one Diane from Another,

Well in these fine words you have definitely
expressed what many of us would have to
say at the end of one year and the beginning
of another. Each year, year after year, we
seem to do this don't we. Well, like you, I will
be a fool one more time. Bravo. diane

Dear KT,

Memories come from the past, but we have a new year ahead of us. Break free, embrace the New Year. Lets build memories that will make us soar. An excellent poem about hope.

Warm regards,

Winslow

I really enjoyed this piece. it is in a fresh, bold style, the fragments of sounds and images gave us an impression of emotions and the repetitions of patterns was very interesting musically. there were some minimalist aspects to this, also some impressionistic ones and some expressionistic ones..
i think you have a lot of talent, something to say, and you have created something fresh and new and exciting to read. this is the kind of poetry i really enjoy reading EKPoet

That just about covers this new year then. And I may say so cleverly put, in so many wise ways. New years resolution- To try not make a fool of oneself.

Diane,
This poem is well-written and motivational in nature! It recognized the truths in our past, the disappointments and failures, the trials and pain. Your words also encourage us to get past all that and focus on what's ahead. The chance for a new beginning and opportunities to right some of the wrongs is here and now. To ignore that would be foolish!
Thank-you for sharing this poem with me. Great advice, I must say!

Hi Diane, and Happy and Blessed New Year to you too.
Every new beginning brings hope for the better and we should learn from mistakes of the past. You have captured the feeling of the New Year so perfectly with your well chosed words. Great writing. I loved it.
Love
Pupa

Well, Diane, I will renew my New Year's resolutions and start afresh. Your poem has inspired me to pick up from the already broken promises and take heart to try once again to keep my resolve... I am serious.

Beautifully inspiring writing.

Take care in '08,
Foxey

Yep, it that time. We reflect on yesterday, then hope for a better tomorrow.
That's what's nice about A New Year.
The artwork is awesome.
The blue background with pink font was genius of you to think of.
Renewal, was an excellent name for your poem.
I also liked the way you went back and forth in your poem.
great job.
