It is time to write my last poem of 2015. Using the Secret Keeper’s list of words I am choosing to use the Shadorma form to sing my way into the 2016.
My necessary words this week are: | PART | STONE | FLAW | STRICT | NOTE |
Prophetic Song For the New Year
by JE Lillie
Still as stone
The old year sounds dead.
Flawed strict notes
Cannot be
Played again. Their parts undone,
I sing a New Year.
Flaws begin
With new notes unheard.
Unrehearsed
Parts falter.
Strict rhythms fall apart like
Water crumbling stones .
A cycle
Then more than a song
Symphony.
Flawed strict notes
My new theme a stone in place
Part of larger work.

You really met the challenge with three stanzas of a shadorma. The optimism is uncertain for the New Year. I hope your Symphony in whatever form it takes becomes real. I know this is a poem and just the other day I responded to a comment when someone close thought I was writing about myself. I told them no. It’s about the world or at least part of it. I’m a writer. When writing I use my imagination. Go where it takes you and feel the Dream. – jk
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Thank you for the encouragement. We never know exactly what the year ahead is going to bring but perhaps in some small way our determinations at the beginning can set the tone for whatever comes.
Start out feeling encouraged it will work out and feel drawn toward those possibilities. It can happen.
