Upon the gift

of nectar’d wine

I held tight to the glass

 

I sipped and savored slowly;

I knew it wouldn’t last

 

Now there is but one taste left

to sweeten this amen

And at the dawn of midnight

my glass will fill again

If the year ahead is a heady yet stylish as your poem, it's going to be a great 2015. Just read again, '.. And at the dawn of midnight - my glass will fill again ' that is such a clever and fitting finish to the whole.

Happy New Everything!

:) Thank you for such a kind review, Emmajoy! Happy to you too!

[Lizardo]

This is really interesting I love the ending line:
''And at the dawn of midnight
my glass will fill again''
What a wonderful poem you have here

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you so much, Lizardo! :)

Lovely New Year's poem. How'd I miss this one.

[Rita L. Sev]

Wrote it last year, reposted this year - Thank you!

[MomzillaNC]

It's great. You're welcome.

A nice parallel here. Just as the "nectar'd wine" does not last, neither do the years. By the way I like how it is "nectar'd" and not nectared...lends a little more style to it.

Thank you, Diana, and a happy 2015 to you!

Cheers Rita, may the new year bring you all good things and may those students of yours all be well behaved.

First day back today; they were still sleeping through the morning classes, but came alive this afternoon! :) Thanks, Ana!

I know, I sent my own of looking very sleepy this morning! Poor teachers!

Nicely worked. That's what I wanted to say but I have to put in 25 characters. I say, less is more.

:) Thank you, Simstar.

Very nice!
May there be many, many, many more glasses to come, each one sweeter than the last!

They do keep getting sweeter... Thank you, Angel!
