Good Bye 2013 Poem by Mary Amrutha

A beautiful poem Mary! Yes,2013 has come and gone giving us a mixed bag of boons and banes! Let us hope that the New Year will grant us a greater load of blessings! ! Enjoyed! !

That`s a nice gratitude shown. You appear to speak for all of us and this poem has a touch of reality.

It is a good poem. Lots of rambling thoughts are spontaneously sprouting from the depth of each line.

I enjoyed this line Like every coin having two sides, I love you and hate you at the same time each new year is the time when we look back. keep writing. JOBY JOHN St.Thomas College pala

This is something I have learned from reading poetry for many decades: Always give an example for every general statement. You write in the beginning that the year 2013 gave great things and wonders but I want to know WHAT they are. I can't visualize wonders - it means too many things at once - but if you were to say I was hot and irritated and then the sky darkened, a huge black cloud crowned my neighborhood and the monsoon rain poured its refreshing waters over my hair, and face and all of me rejoiced. Now I KNOW what wonder means for you, and that's what I want from you as a poet - something special that I cannot experience in ice-cold Minnesota - Last week the temperature was -30 degrees below zero. It was so cold that I could barely breathe when I walked outside to my car and I had to carry my three year nephew because he was crying he was so cold. That's the experience of pain - in real, concrete, vivid language.

Yeah, u are our voices. Thank u 4 speaking 4 us. U have said it all!
