Wow! Excellent entry, Rina! I couldn't figure out what seemed so familiar about this piece, then when I read your author's note I got it! It's amazing what you remember that you don't realize you remember until you remember it!

It was definitely a challenge to myself to write something that summed up the year looking forward to the next and i have to thank you for it Ahavati :)

really a very fine piece of work here, Vee, strong stuff throughout

Thank you vey much Van, your feedback is greatly appreciated, good to have you read my work :)

Thank you Hyp, for your kind words and i'm still planning on making my way over to your profile to read some of your work :)

Rina, there is much beauty in this reminiscent piece. You are a Van Gogh in the way you paint your scenes in your signature, impressionistic style. I admire greatly your art. Bravisima!

GW, I learned something through the process of writing this piece that if the subject stumps you, then go back to things that you know well and that's exactly what i did.  In essence, our past is our blueprint and i must say it was catheratic to 'revisit' some of my poems which were very personal.  
Very much reminiscent of that New year song, Auld Lang Syne :)

much to like here in language and image that surprise and to ponder particularly the verse:
"Back to emerald hills...

lyrical magic

Thank you very much Whale :)

Really liked the references back to older works, the way you tied them in. This had so many feeling, the harsh dark lines, the dreamy lines. Fine piece of work!

We all have handful of our favorites and very personal pieces and needless to say those stand out and will always, so basically this turned out to be a summary of the year and critical points in my life.
I would love to see your version Anon, i'm sure you'd make it just as interesting.

I love your comment Mourganna, and you're so right we're all puzzle pieces, incomplete.

Neatly expressed tie You wove here V- Equal harmony with the earlier Writes!!!
I've said this elsewhere-but will repeat...You said before how You didn't Write "open" or place too personal things within Your Writes...You've Written quite a lot  of emotive Poetry lately ...Deeper.
Hopefully it is cathartic...Gosh knows it makes for touching reads...Beautiful As Always!!!
I've noticed a change in style for line length as well...another expression of depth or more "from the core" ; not grandiose or over-bearing..(You know my personal opinion of over-glorified descriptions ;)- this was .just Perfect presentation with the right breath!!!.
What I view as superb!!!

I read your message last night and it was wonderful..and all the details, we both know the details are everything ;)
I'll reply to it today.

tbh, i experimented a bit with this one, which is a little different than my usual comfort zone, but i think its more appreciated by the ones (such as yourself) who have known me for a long time and can trace the history and for that i thank you my Soul :)

Wow. THIS, is the type of poetry I love to read. This is superb.

Thank you Ubi-V for your time and comment, i appreciate it.  Now i'm very curious to read your work :)

Thank you!

Congratulations Rina on this truly divine write.. some things came about this morning that made me realize I may have made a mistake entering an older poem in this comp. so I brought to Ahavati's attention.. you were the true winner after all forgive my error..

love Brenda

No harm done Brenda, your poem is well deserving and I hope someday soon it will get its rightful recognition.

Much love xox

A work of art...I was here, then there, but with you at all times...I will have to read the other pieces now...wonderful dear poet
