SPLENDID 2012 CONCEPTUALIZATION IN 5 - 7 - 5

BEST WISHES ANDREA D.

Here is hoping you soar this new year dear poet! Soar high and long :)

Congratulation my friend on your win.bl

Amen my friend. I spent several years a few years back that it seemed everything that possibly could happen did happen to me but God took mercy on me finally and made the demons back off before they killed me. No kidding, I felt cursed. Finally things started to get better. Just Hang In There Baby. God Bless and Merry Christmas, and Ask God For Help, He is your only salvation. JB :)

Andrea congrats on your win and good luck..David

Congratulations on your win in Tracie's "Resolution Haiku" contest Andrea. Love, Carol

It could not have been a bad year - we met on PS, or maybe I'M your bad luck! Have a great 2012! George

I hope 2012 is all you want Andrea...congrats on your 6th place win in my contest xxx

The key is not to think but to be. I know you will BE great next year too! Andrea, I apologize for not responding lately. I've had zero time to be online due to finishing the move my family and I just made to FL from SC. I should be on the Soup more often in the coming days to read and post more poetry (I have written hundreds of poems in the last few weeks but just haven't got the chance to post them).

Good luck. I wish you the best. Good write.

I do hope that you will have a much better new year, and a blessed Christmas as well. Thank you for your comments on my poem Jesus. I'm afraid I have been uninspired since Sept, and have not been able to write anything in the past several months. Maybe the new year will be more kind and fruitful. Blessings to you and yours for the holiday season. Big

Andrea, Great Haiku. I will probably see you in the winners circle. I am sorry if i made you think Barbara and Chef ( HG ) are living together They are not She is on the west coast and he is in Vermont. He does however he Love Barbara and wants to go and meet her someday. 6 days and he will be home. Respectfully A Fledgling Poet kenny

This is so funny...every comment I 've made this evening is preceded by Carolyn..It looks as though I am poetry soup stocking her. lol....Aren't these New Year's resolutions fun? Do we take them serious? One of my favorite authors says to put your energies toward the most important things in our lives and we won't have regrets..I try to live up to that. I believe next year CAN be better than last...TALK ABOUT a stressful year, huh? You were burning the midnight oil often. ;) Gwendolen

Dear Andrea, so many people here have had tough years. Perhaps this is a mantra we should all adopt. Very nice!! Best wishes in Tracie's contest. Love, Carolyn
