new beginnings – bookmarks in a larger book : original inspirational poetry
**
if the words endure, they do so because they link the links -

Intro
happy new year everyone!
the idea of the poems is, yes, new years is a new beginning, but also has continuity
there seemed, all of a sudden, so many ways i could express this, but they each led to differing modes of image-expression and line-usage, and i had to make a choice
kinda like at new years 
here’s wishing all the best to all of us!

New Beginnings – Bookmarks in a Larger Book
love
when i get things right
the first time
no
retries or second third guessing
gestated full-winged, sharp-eyed, tuned
to the world – ready for flight
allowing me to move on
new years day
is like that
no retries or second guessing
it’s a new year’s new day
even in
mid sentence mid
kiss
mid breathe
it’s new
we’ve made it official
the corner page has been curled and pressed, marked
the ereader’s red bookmark has been selected
the gifted favored bookmark found special
among other choices left unchosen
makes it most official
within the flow of the fuller life, the larger book
this page in our stories, is a new beginning
done right, the first time, the first day
i’ve begun anew
officially
i can love that

Joe Konrath, Resolutions for Writers 2006-2012

joe is a self-described genre fiction writer
the resolutions posted, from 2006 through the newest one for 2012, are as enthralling as a work of fiction, yet totally true “and” provide a blow-by-blow historical account of the changes in the publishing industry, from a writer’s pov

dVersepoets New Year’s Post, “Poetics – Endings & EBeginnings”
thought i should be used to it by now, i continue to be amazed at the quality of essay prefacing the prompt for a particular theme created by a working poet from dversepoets
from the essay, by Mark Kerstetter
“Do you, at the end of the year, think about the past or the future?…Perhaps…the present moment is all that we ever have, and it is the poet’s province to memorialize this place: always here, and always unique…we walk forward with eyes in the backs of our heads….”
included in the essay is a beauty of a photo, a poem from conrad aiken, and a youtube audio with the vinyl cover of a young sinatra (as if frank was ever old )

Yoga
so many times i forget, that all my turns and twists and new beginnings, no matter how disparate, end up linked chapters in the larger book that’s my life
everything i’ve done colors everything i think and feel, the mix and mixes mixing like air currents finding where their boundaries dissolve and blend merging into something new, for another while
i find that kinda comforting, though i thought, when first thinking this, i wouldn’t
that i’d resent the losing of the moment remembered -
my moments are still moments, i realize, they just keep connecting to other moments, making up the larger moment that’s the living of my life
i wonder, if that’s, sorta at least, how my one life, becomes one…
