A year in reverse.

Credits for image - tessai@deviantart.com


I want you to explain a year of your life in a poem.
Be it a year of a person.
A year of events.
A year of both.
I'm looking for metaphors, imagery, nostalgia.
No length requirements or restrictions, but make it worth my time.

No chatspeak.
No sticky caps.
Just plain english.

For an example of what I'm looking for, read my poem:

Prizes will probably be increased if I get good entries.
I will extend the date if I feel I don't have enough to judge on.
Impress me.
