Yes this poem has a great title for the time of year -following all the excitement of Christmas and the New Year we return to reality - good use of language 'dim' is effective.

This is really good. Your words made for a very vivid picture, and, speaking of which, I also love the picture you chose to display your poem. I bet you will do well in the polls of the 2-10-2 contest! Good luck! xoxo

    Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. It's on the shorter side. Glad you could glean something from those 14 syllables.

Great job! The comparison to Cinderella's midnight deadline is so clever. Reading it I could feel the fleeting nature of New Year's magic. You did a great job using the structure required in this contest.

    Appreciated. I scratched my head at first when I saw the prompt. I wanted to do a reflection on the New Year but from the other end - the not so optimistic perspective. Thanks for your review.

Sometimes they have. But every since I met my husband, each new year's charm seems to last all year . Goo's use of syllables and imagery. Enjoy a happy joyful new year!
