Enlightening and a washed over feeling as I read it. I cant pick a favorite part because it is all beautiful. Well done.

Comment from jack silver
This poem was really quite good and suited the picture really well. it was full of life and is a reminder that while we should not live in the past, we should however learn from it and march on. which is of course sometimes easier said then done.

Jack, thank you for reviewing an old poem that is no longer promoted - not many people do that! Brooke

i am still going through fifty five messages that i got from different people. it seems that when ever i turn my back on how much stories and poems i have got from people, the list just grows and grows until i find that i am behind by way to many to keep up with. at the end of last week i had just below 200 so i can tell you i still have some of yours which i haven't even looked at. but i am going to.

Comment from Aurora C. Borealis
A great poem for this contest! Really well written. It sounds - to me, anyway - a little bitter-sweet. It's very true that we all move on, but sometimes I wonder at what price; often forgetting the past (ignoring it at times) where we'd do better to learn from mistakes. Yet, the time never stops and we do move on.
Sorry, didn't mean to start rambling! :)
Well done

Aurora, I think the end of the year is always bittersweet - you are most perceptive. Thank you, Brooke :-)

I love that big word to identify contrast. WOrds like that make a short poem really shine as it has so much more to it than just a regular word. Great.

Comment from Poetic Friend
Now, this is an interesting form, and boy, you mastered it. I expected no less from the Queeen of Alphabets.
I also enjoyed the imagery and upifting message. There's a lot of food for thought in this poem.
Excellent, as usual.

Comment from cherry_rose
Thank you for explaining chiaroscuro. There aren't many words I don't know, but this one had me stumped.
Brooke,
This is an excellent ABC poem. The message to me is that I shouldn't forget the past, but I should continue to keep the future in mind. Life is such a contrast and you've described it beautifully with your choice of words.

Comment from amada
This is a great philosophical poem, right at the almost beginning of a new year when new illusions are being born . My favorite line "Gazing toward tomorrow, past what's gone."

Hello adewpearl,
This is a step above the rest.
Great vocabulary usage.
Great imagery.
A fine poem.
Writing an ABC poem is not as easy as 1, 2, 3 ...
Good luck in the contest.
Regards, LateBloomer

Comment from Aeris7
I can personally relate to this one; faltering perhaps but moving on. Very creative use of ABC poetry style which is well written and very meaningful.
