Another Year

Another year is ending Making way for one anew What we've observed will shape us To create a better view Another year is ending Let the new be not the same For a better place is not far from possible If we all could change our way Another year is ending May we embrace the new with hope Though it may seem bleak and futile at times Together, with love we can cope Another year is ending And I truly wish you all the best May your year be full of love and understanding So that your mind may be at rest Happy holidays and a great new year.

Gabriel, I did like this poem very much. The repetition patterning of the first lines was nice, and the sentiment was very lyrical. The break in pattern ("same" does not rhyme with "way") cost you a higher place on technical grounds. Unless this break was intended, for example, to emphasize your desire for change?

Thank you Cecelia for the positioning you presented me with. While I understand your decision based on the break in rhyme, I will admit that to allow for the potency of the poem to not be sacrificed, I chose a word that didn't necessarily rhyme but still had a similar spoken sound.
