a diamante, inspired by What the Woman Wrote, https://whatthewomanwrote.wordpress.com/
New Year’s Turn
Yes?
We’ll drop
down gradually
a diamond-looking ball
in each shiny place around the world, where
it’s suitable to celebrate New Year’s Eve as style—and yet
in three-hundred sixty-four (or five) more days,
we’ll do it again in lights
for the new time:
one year
wiser

Great diamanté, Christopher! I enjoyed it! Yes, here comes the new year… May it bring you 364 (or 5) days full of blessings. Happy new year!

Thanks so much, Annie. As the inspirator, your approval is the measure. I enjoy working on the forms you’ve been presenting. Happy New Year, you and yours!

Oh my, Christopher, thank you for your kind words. I’m a new student of poetry, there are many things I don’t know, you certainly need not my approval. I’m really glad to be able to share what I found 🙂
