Greetings from I Write in 2024!

Well, I was quite surprised to realize you’ve emptied your book of poetry for the new year… but I’m happy to see you transferred them all into a giant compendium for safekeeping. That’s a creative way to approach the awkwardness of having so many little poems building up year after year. Also, of course, Lilli wants a clean slate each year *Laugh* I’ll have to budget some GPs for a fancy award on mine… yours look lovely and are well deserved.

I like the gently circular and lyrical feel this piece has. You have a nice way of writing simple poetry which means a lot without going to any great effort. I mean that in a good way… I have a tendency to spend very little time on my own poetry, preferring to get it out in an almost stream of consciousness way rather than fussing over meter and rhyme. I feel like it’s closer to my heart that way, less trite and more honest.

We can see here the theme of endings and beginnings being so closely connected and never ending, and it reminds me of the sunrise and sunset… which now reminds me of the *Think* *DragonHead* *DragonHeadB* album Loom, where the artist delves into the beginnings and endings of his life stages and realizes that endings are really just beginnings… *Pthb* Anyway, I like this poem. Life is a cycle of events which all have an element of start and stop in them, and we have to focus on the future without becoming lost in the past while at the same time respecting the wisdom of those before us.

Have fun with your Promptly Poetry project this year! I’m loving it so far for myself *Delight*

Take care, thanks for sharing, and keep writing *HeartT*
