New Beginnings

Posted May 13, 2014 · 12 lines · 6 critiques

As the sun comes up over the horizon
A new beginning is offered to all mankind
The same beginning that has been offered for eon's

How you chose to use the day is your decision
Being wise in the choices you make is always good
Taking time to think about your goals and vision

Remembering everyone falls, but is not done
And there is room for change, the path is not defined
Considering the things that define your action

But when the morning comes it is a new day
It's like the sun smiles with a beautiful gift
And a new chance has been given for your changes

"A good write, know that you are a poet on a collision course with a workshop, a place to learn, with friends that care. Here the universe we will share.. Just take care with the odd English word as in this line,:- "Brin…"

"A shift in style of your writing and expressing in this poem is pretty novel and the Title fits it like a glove...To add to the comment of Jess I would say you are not just in the right place but also on the right path…"

"Do I Dare?" by @vinland
"This is a beautiful peace. I feel the emotion you put in it. I like the last verse but to me it sounds like it does not belong to this poem. Like it is another poems beginning or ending. That is the only suggestion I ha…"

"Feeling New Things" by @Ian.T

"Raven's Rhapsody" by @lonlyhrtsclub13
"It took me a minute to know what to say. The Raven was death and I love life. So that is why it took me a minute. It made me identify with the wolf who had beat the raven that time. I like it. It made me think."

"8:46:30" by @mike carter
"I really enjoyed this poem.. I like that you added respect for family, not just love. Today that is so hard to find. People don't talk about respect any more. I guess that is why it is so poetic."

About Me

About me

I would like to be a more serious Poet. I have had poetry trending on the internet and a few pieces published, but my poems have started to lean more to the issues of today. It is not timeless and that is the kind of poetry I would like to write
