This looks like quite a difficult form, but you did it justice. The fact that it rhymes also, and has a great message, adds to the appeal. Life is here to experience and explore, and I like the thought of opening up windows.

Though I was reading The Raven for a minute...just kidding. I liked the poem and I can understand how beginnings open doors...we have so many "new" beginnings that we can take advantage of or just let circumstances deflate them.

I enjoyed reading your word weave poem. By connecting the last letters with first letters, reading the poem rolls off the tongue with ease.

Cheers,

Hi Treieschel,

New doors, new beginnings, an interesting and thought provoking verse on an apparently simple theme.

Nicely done.

Patrick

I like the rhyme
The weave part makes for a challenging exercise for the poet but not sure it does anything to enhance what you have to say or make it sound any better when read aloud. Brooke

    Thanks Brooke. I got a bit mystical on this. But, it was a first try.

A wonderful poem. I was not aware of a word weave poem, but it is great to be introduced to it. I am sure it must be quite difficult. You did an excellent job, I am totally impressed. Thanks for the author's note explaining the concept. Take care and thanks for sharing!

This read well considering the difficulty of using the last letter of the prior word. I was unaware of a word weave and I liked how you did this.

What an intriguing form.I must try it some time. Apart from following through with the weave I liked the contrast of the open windows with the old door (leading to the past?) and the pointless shadows. The use of the word 'pore' is multi layered poring over the past, still in the pores of your skin?

    Thank you marycec. Yes, you got it. Pore, absorb it into your very being, under your skin.

I thought this was an excellent poem. Well done on the weaving, I will experiment it myself once I can get the juices flowing again. Well done.
