Notes About The Poem

Non contest poem

Happy New Year

The ocean's fog and mist so wide,
High tide indifferent, no confide,
Surf's ups and downs in rhythmic dance,
Sweeps all on its watery expanse.

New Year's visions in uncertainty's haze,
Time's march indifferent in mysterious ways,
Success and failure, life's dual ride,
In the misty shroud, they coincide.

Waves' frothy silk on sea crests blue,
Optimism triumphs, shadows eschew,
Human hearts in hopeful cheer,
Pessimism in darkness disappears.

Beautiful waves in song and play,
Defy the gloom, hold sway,
Aspirations and hearts aglow,
Wish all a Happy New Year's flow.

Waves' frothy silk on sea crests blue, Optimism triumphs, shadows eschew" Oh woww, this is such an inspiring poem, hued so vividly with textures of wisdom that truly uplift the heart.. Life is truly a dual ride - of success and failures.. But the one who learns the tactic of embracing these moments, learning and growing, is the one who learns the art of life. I really like the oceanic imageries here, so gorgeous and eloquent.. A wonderful poem.. A fav! Regards - :)
