New Years Old Wishes
Poetry Contest
Sponsored by: Craig Cornish

7th place in the contest

Three birds on the chimney Bluethroat nightingale Touch blue and your wish will come true As a grasshoppers develop insight and understanding Reflection of a wave that hits my thoughts and old wishes A penny in the left shoe may sound a bit naive My wish in the abyss of greed was to find the way back to humanity and the true values - before it was too late Wishes often disintegrate behind the clouds of our illusions The total satisfaction an endless spiral - never give up

This wonderful poem explores hopes, desires, and the search for fundamental values within the confusion of modern life. It explores the contradiction between materialism (greed) and a desire for deeper interpersonal relationships and authenticity. I wish you a very happy new year, Anne-Lise.

Wishes are wings of thought...they can go anywhere and everywhere -- Angels hear them. Have a wonderful New Year my friend. Fascinating poem! Stay greedy when it comes to lovely poetry...all you can give and receive take flight.

We often find ourselves in the abyss of greed and hope for better things, we must strive to achieve those goals, only we can make that happen and never giving up on hope. Best of luck in the contest Anne-Lise and have a lovely weekend. Tom
