This was very well done Christine. For me to read this it shows the respect you have for the poets here and that in itself is a great thing. Not only was it well done it was also well appreciated. Thanks so much. Have a Happy New Year's and wishes for health, happiness, success in 2018.

I like the camaraderie balanced with competition that you wrote into this poem. There are so many wonderful poets here and you are one of them. I guess anyone can lead in the beginning but how can anyone hope to keep writing as prolifically as some? One spelling issue is : " Nineth " which should be 'Ninth.'

This is the first year I haven't been ranked in the top ten, (it's more peaceful here) but the mad scramble commences on the ist of January. Well done Christine, I hope to see you posting in the new year, excellent fun post, and possibly final for the year? Good job, blessings, Roy
Typo : (nineth) for sure. Ninth?

    Hi Roy. Thanks for reading my poem for this Top Ten A bot of fun and iI Will mever be in the Top ten cant write enough or affort the cost LOL Domt know about you but it cost a heap to promote your own work just to keep in in the mix. I look at this as my 'Spending money' LOL and as it is my hobby I can justify the money spent here. Although I do no know how others can afford it. Also I don't have enough 'spare time' to write all the time and often go weeks without a poem or post then have a little surge LOL.
    I also believe there are as many deserving poets on FS who equally desreve to be in the Top Ten rating because of the Quality ( not quantity ) of their work si it is a bit subject to many factors. Still I do enjoy everyone support and friendship here and Being ranked 64th is not a bad effort. Ha Ha
    As always Roy a pleasure to communicate with you Have a safe and Happy New Year Cheers Christine

    Yes, perhaps attack was unfairly strong, Tom.
    I had a marvellous discussion on faith with a philosophy professor just post Christmas. Faith in my case was more decision than mystically aquired. (I suspect that's the route to all belief) Having had an encounter with something or somebody that was quite definitely wonderfully alien to anything earthly, my spiritual journey started, in deciding that an omnipotent, omniscient God must exist, my decision became definite, I've never regretted that move, in many infallible proofs, it has been most rewarding in all ways, in relationships, thought patterns, and particularly in hope. (Which is the real motive) the scales of inequality fall away, wisdom's dimensions become much, much broader, and certainty wears a coat. Bless you Tom, I love and admire your skill as a writer, I hope you plumb the depths of the mystical more deeply, there are many dimensions to negotiate and confuse, logic is confined to human senses I'm afraid. Regards Roy.

    Hi Roy Not sure if the above reply was to me or to Tom. Perhaps somehow we got mixed up sorry to read it if if was not inteded to me.No problems though your faith is well reveered here on FS.
    Cheers Christine

But the main thing is to have a go and enjoy the experience and nice people on meets here. Have great New Year and I look forward to you work in 2018 Cheers Christine

This is a cute, fun poem, Christine. Yesterday or the day before yesterday, Dean wrote another one on the same topic. Have you seen it? Have a look at his portfolio.
Thanks for sharing.

Nice tabulation of the end-of-year rhymin' roundup. I have read almost all of these folks' works. Who's Dean? Har-Dee-har-har; just kidding. I suppose I'll need to put on my 2018 thinking cap and bust a rhyme or two. Happy New Year.

A very well-written poem for the final countdown to the end of the year. No one's place is secure until the clock strikes at midnight. Don't go too slow when the finish line is close.
