This work has reached the exceptional level

I like the way the emotions change in this poem. It is clear that you start objectively, then start an old way of thinking based on the past, then make a conscious effort to feel hopeful.

The rhythm of the poem works well.

The pictures adds to the appeal.

This is a very uplifting and thoughtful poem. I like the idea of acknowledging the past's lessons but not letting them drag us there and keep us there. A new year, in fact a new day, a new minute is all there for the taking, all the time and not just annually. Great poem and definitely inspirational.

Dear Mrs KT,

That is a beautifully written poem. The words and verses are beautiful and it is a pleasure to read.

Yes indeed, we must not repeat the same mistakes we have committed.

Well done

What a lovely lyrical quality this has to it. Parts of it remind me of a good sermon. *chuckles* So nice to see a flowing free form verse from you, Diane. Your work is truly excellent. Thank you for sharing it! Hugs, Sara
