You'll find me leaning against the wall probably with my hands in my pocket. I'll be with the other wall flowers hoping that someone doesn't ask me to dance. With two left feet and not one to lead, I find it's best to just stand back and enjoy the music and watch the others make crazy girations as they make attempts at dancing. In regards to the new year, I'll dance and sing my way into spring. Yep, I'm ready for warmer weather already. Mike

Thank you, Mike. Two left feet - I don't believe you for one moment! :-) I'm ready for spring too! Brooke :-)

Why do you think I have such a hard time buying shoes? I have to pick put two pair and then switch the rights out of the box when no one is looking.

What a lovely new year poem, Brooke. I really like the dance theme of life. (I've never been much of a dancer myself - lol)
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and I'd like to wish you a happy and prosperous new year.
Hugs and warmest wishes

Nora, this is a stunning poem of a new day, a new year a new beginning. The dance represents doing whatever we want to do, time does not wait, we only live once.
The artwork you have chosen is absolutely stunning as well, and so complementary to your well structured and free flowing poem.
Warmest regards
Marijke

This is a very nice poem for the new year. I really love that picture! I like that you've used several plays on words involving dance and time, including your "debut" into dance and into a new year, and that life/time don't pause due to the strong beat. Your iambic pentameter is spot on and the poem reads smoothly. Your rhyme scheme is good with words that do not seem forced or contrived. My favorite line is, "I'll bid what I can't change a fond adieu." That's a terrific attitude! Great job on this poem!

adewpearl,
Once again very good work in using 8 line verse. The artwork goes very well with what you have created. The dance brings it warmth and joy!

Comment from Maria C.
The picture you selected contributes unspoken words to
your own beautiful writing. She is so free. Free from the worries of a past year and moving on, "I'll bid what I can't change a fond adieu." This is so good.
Blessing for the New Year.

I would love to dance with you with this fine poetry. A unique way to welcome the New Year. You achieved the Ottava Rima rhyme scheme and it wasn't forced but flowed. Nice job.

I love the picture you used on this poem. By itself, it tells a story. I like the way you approached this poem. One quick look back and then onward into what the new year and life offers. Very nice indeed.
