Hello, 🌕 HuntersMoon What I liked This poem has a wonderful theme, is well written and follows a structure which successfully strengthens its theme's developmental flow. I especially liked the end line about the single breath first brought up in the second quatrain. What might need work Thought the prompt was a 'fresh start', not a 'sour start'?! into the future, bright and vast. - this may be just me being weird, but I think I'd use the indefinite article here rather than definite so that it's not one pre-ordained future but a realm of possibilities, ie. a future, not the future. The “new” in New Year’s just a trope. I feel time’s just a single breath - did you repeat 'just' for the echoe effect? If not, consider subetituting 'but' in the second line for alliteration with 'breath' and vertical alliteration with 'birth' No resolutions will I make. Though made sincerely, some I’d break - when you begin the second line with 'though' it sounds a bit off because the preceding line is negative, if you catch my drift. Thank you for sharing! Best wishes, Bob My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
