January

Just in time for annal's first Anthem of recovery from decadence Nonsense summer shed, duty toes Unencumbered line forward, pale impaled Arctic abyss shrouds frozen flame Regrets only as almost good intentions Yields to hibernation of resolve. 12/31/18

This is such a profound, phrase-rich write. Everyone should be competing for 2nd place, except me. (What I've written is a lock for the booby prize, no doubt about it). Happy 2019, Michelle! ~ gw

You can visit my site, as I actually have no intention of entering the poem, Be Wary of January, in the contest. I just was in 'a mood' earlier today and decided to let January have it. It's uncontestable that the poem is not contest-worthy in any way, shape or form. :) gw

Thanks, gw (though now I guess I can't visit your site til after the contest is over, darn!)
