Closing My Year. - 08 Poem by Fay Slimm
Closing My Year. - 08
Looking backside of an outgoing year,
Momentous events show destiny's
Face has bravely unfolded a brand new
And exciting rhythm for me. Clearly
Revealing fate, controlling, but dealing
No fear in her hand. Cards have fallen, too,
Unbidden, but grasped with wondrous delight,
In trust that what's glimpsed will reveal outright
A heartening end. Asking no questions,
I wait, eagerly taking what's boldly laid
As fateful command. This visionary sighting
Of New Year surprises needs a firm hold.
As the old relinquishes time, I sigh,
But with eyes wide open warmly embrace
The coming unseen and inspiring new.
Welcome, I seize it, as waving goodbye
To another year's closure, I wish for you
A happy 2009, yet still enticingly new.
To P.H. friends........
Eloquent and powerful. Your passion shines through in it. A rather gripping poem with very intense flow and wording. Kudos Fay! A very good one.10

Ah! what a breath of fresh air to find this. This is my first reading of any of your works and now I'll go and bury myself in their inviting embrace! 'Face has bravely unfloded a brand new And exciting rhythm for me.' Yes, that's exactly what this poem does to me - shows me a whole new face in this 'still enrticingly' new year. I'll drink full of the strength pouring out of this wite. 10 all the way

I like the variable rhyme scheme you constructed here, Fay, as well as your inventive & 'original' opening line, which carries the poem, and its positive message of hopeful, auspicious genisis, for the new year herenow, in motion..Solid Work, young lady from Cornwall, U.K....and directly on the other side of the Ocean we share! ...And from where i live...just 90 miutes from Cornwall, New York...Home of The Baseball Hall of Fame, where i met the famous Willie Mays, some 25 years ago!

Hi Fay: Bring on the year... Toward's heart so dear. Full bloom... Let it be free of sadness and gloom. This new year will come and pass... May the prices of oil be low on gas. This year will travel through the clock of time and the ages... Hopefully to all there will be many happy stages. No future of terrorismal acts be done.... An economy in full swing begun it's run. Recovery will require sacrifice from all... This in turn in the end, will forstall, our final breaking fall. Great poem Fay-Gave it a ten! God bless all poets-MJG.
