A Poem by Rita L. Sev
"

...

"

Upon the gift

of nectar’d wine

I held tight to the glass

 

I sipped and savored slowly;

I knew it wouldn’t last

 

Now there is but one taste left

to sweeten this amen

And at the dawn of midnight

my glass will fill again

If the year ahead is a heady yet stylish as your poem, it's going to be a great 2015. Just read again, '.. And at the dawn of midnight - my glass will fill again ' that is such a clever and fitting finish to the whole.

Happy New Everything!

It's great. You're welcome.
A nice parallel here. Just as the "nectar'd wine" does not last, neither do the years. By the way I like how it is "nectar'd" and not nectared...lends a little more style to it.

Nicely worked. That's what I wanted to say but I have to put in 25 characters. I say, less is more.
