Yes, the world is in the grip of fear.... fear of pandemic and man made miseries like war and terrorism...! Such fears plunge the world in sorrow!

Each new year brings hope, even the hope that the corona virus will be defeated. Your poem is gripping, and says much in a few words. It is written in an interesting new (to me) form. Blessings, Evelyn

Everyday we hear of increasing numbers of people sick or dying. Pity.

The world is overshadowed by fear. Let us hope that the New Year will sweep away all fears and fill us with new hopes!
