Harry Horsman Poet Quintain (English)

New Year 2015

The dawn of a New Year
Another time to meet head on,
Is this a good omen or do I fear
Now my youth has long gone,
Ablaze within the power shone.

Yet I see a light bestirring
Amongst the doom and gloom,
Freedom of one’s pen columnist averring
When of weaving the literary loom,
Idealistic sweeps the new broom.

Monterey Sirak January 19, 2015 at 9:20 AM This is wonderful! The last line is simply amazing. Even though you matured I hope the child is still alive in you.

Robert Johnson January 17, 2015 at 6:29 PM Solace of the simplest pen. Can restore a soul again. When evening's dimmed before the dawn. Our own insight can carry us on. May God's peace be with you this year Harry. Peace. :)

Bl Devnath January 15, 2015 at 10:47 AM Excellent powerful poem for the matured. Here a great philosophy is hidden of different ages where year after year are concerned. The new matures when old age is reached and all new are like that. A nice effective revolving cycle you have shown clearly. A great philosopher you are. Loved always, my lovely friend,bl
