Year's End Comments

The random hands, the loose unready eyes Of men expecting yet another sun To do the shapely thing they had not done. a powwerful way of describing. thank u dear poet. tony

What powerful images he re-created- how the past can be immortalized in snow and ash at least for a while. Those late fallen leaves that are frozen upright on the lake looking like ice skaters- those people and dog buried under ash in Pompeii- life is so transient.

My favorite line: The little dog lay curled and did not rise But slept the deeper as the ashes rose Almost makes it sound as if the dog froze to death, but leaves you wondering.

It is the time factor that we mortal creatures are fated to face. winter then summer and we are unable to say anything we are subject to fate.

Excellent portrayal of nature in winter and snowfall effects etc on the eve of new year. Thanks for sharing.10 points.

Snow or leaves settled in wintry bed, men and materials buried under ash of volcanic eruption and all such destroying scenes cannot stop the coming end of an year and let the new one bring joy thereafter!

definitely gives the picture of a winter. Well written.
