Welcome New Year

Happy upcoming New Year

Welcome New Year           by Sami Khalil

An English Sonnet

Blaze away an enfilade of gunfire

Ones that resound more like artillery

Breasting billows, lilting the shouted choir

Surging into twinkling stars’ chivaree.

 

I can feel in my heart the gnawed advent

Sooner than later by the sands of time

Destined to return year after year’s consent

Such a sight, beguiling each paradigm.

 

Welcome New Year; a rainbow’s fresh

In gentlest light disperse our darkest nights

Bond us in love, pleasing spirits and flesh

As we proclaim glory, rapt within sights.

 

Plink away an enfilade of gunfire

A swift lament echoes through the briar.

[Unspoken poet]

Wow, very nicely written write here, quite an intriguing write as well. enjoyed this

[Sami Khalil]

Wowzy! Thank you so much dear poet for the visit and sharing. All appreciated.

[Matthew James Ginn]

I like the way that you describe life as this load affair. Choatic in nature sometimes but in the end, like birds coming after winter, you can see beauty amidst the dust. Well done!

[Sami Khalil]

It is fulfilling to know that. Thank you so much Mathew for this wonderful truth and visit. See you soon.

Is Paradigm an Intellectual set of Ideas… ? Inquiring minds .. go to Google or Sami … ❤️ Pat

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! It is a new standard, a new perspective and a set of ideas as you marvelously point out. A new way of looking at things come to mind in may diverse fields.
Be blessed in any paradigm.
Choir of angels are singing your love song....

[Patricia Wedel]

Paradigm.. is that a Choir of Angels… ? Dear Sami…. Gently, Pat

[Chris Shaw]

We live in violent and unpredictable times, each new year has us hoping and praying for softer more gentle living. Well done Sami. You have composed a beautiful English sonnet. Farewell the gunfire, bring in the kisses.

dearest Sami... it seems like a bad dream when we hear the gunfire and listen to the News... so many "last breaths" have been taken. So many mistaken calamities. For the children we must carry the Light that will still shine on the divine intervention that is yours and mine. A "Torch" will be passed on-- and we as fallen Angels must guide the precious ones to a place of Peace and Love. Our prayers are always ascending. tenderly, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

All true and well said Patricia Wedel. Your words are so beautiful and heartfelt. With all the bad news and evil in the world, let us humbly celebrate the myriad blessings God bestowed upon us, small and large, including our ability to be creative, to be the change for good in this world. Honored to call you friend and fellow poet.

[Sami Khalil]

Note: I hint at fireworks in a dramatic way in this poem...

[Patricia Wedel]

I realize my take is off beat, however, it did seem to parallel my thoughts. Prayer is powerful… I do believe.. with all our shortcomings.. we are still Children of His Love and Care… Amen

[Sami Khalil]

All true and well said Patricia. Gracie Milleee...

[andrew mitchell]

You are mastering these English sonnets so well Sami. And don’t they just ooze old English charm, so worldly, a language that resonates like a hymn. Well done Sir.

[Sami Khalil]

Wowzy! An honor coming from you sir. Thank you so much for the vote of confidence. You are amazing. Your country too.

[Lathen Griffiths]
