This Year

This year I am going to paint the sky. Use the hands of masters past. Open to the heavens, Angels will my heart occupy. Both the day and night, treasures unsurpassed. This year it is art again - I - an enthusiast. This year I am going to erase the sky. Use my hands like masters past. Open my heart to the Angels, Heaven I will occupy. Nights and days spent, no treasures unsurpassed. This year a new art and me an enthusiast. This year reach beyond the sky, Use the minds of masters past, Offer myself to the Angels in Heaven to occupy. No night or day no treasure unsurpassed. This year I'll join the Galaxy as an enthusiast. This year I will soar the sky, Use the powers of the meek from the past For they will inherit the Earth and Heaven occupy. Timeless, eternity mine, power unsurpassed. This year humility is me - I - an enthusiast. 01~18~2015 Sponsor: Francine Roberts Contest Name: This Year in English Quintain My Own Quote " An Artist can not always write of the future without the intangible sometimes occupying the greater part of his creation"

Good resolutions, Maurice. My eyesight is so bad I must use a magnifying glass to read everything, so I don't read long works. Forgive me. I hope your daughter is doing better. May the blessings be. This is more Hindu prayer than Christian. Love, daver

OMG, Armand, and you call yourself "not a poet." Unbelievable. I really think that whether you were a poet before or not, just by reading all the many beautiful poems here, the process of osmosis has set in, and you are starting to write like a real PRO in these traditional forms. You even took this form and made it also have aspects of a Kyrielle!! If Francine does not like this one for a big win, I think she is cuckoo!!! BIG SEVEN to you.
