Champagne Dreams





Cork popped bubbled dreams
       as noise makers signal
ball's drop --

             chapter ends;


new resolution
   is etched

upon a page turned.

    Bel, every time I read a piece of yours, I learn a little more about what metaphor is - you always write with excellent metaphor, very well written and succinct,

    "new resolution
    is etched

    upon a page turned."

    So sad and such a powerful ending..congrats on the silver

    Marvelous! Love how you managed to stay completely away from cliche acronyms and metaphors. The "bubbled dreams" is wonderful! A fresh and unique metaphor like only you can do! Love it!! I have missed so much of your writings as of late, and am so enjoying this one! "....upon a page turned...." May the book of your life start a new and carefree chapter, my dear friend. No one deserves it more than you. Love you muchly, dear one!!

    It is that time once again. I know that 2008 will hold many treasures that you so deserve my dear. Pop the cork and allow the flow of recompense for all that you've freely given in '07. You've been my blessing wrapped up into a great gift. As the page turns so will your life, for the greater good. Excellent take on the prompt. Good to see your muse so bubbly. The best to you in the challenge dear heart.


    Always ♥
