Perfect graphic for your words. I almost knew the poem would be about individual thoughts or decisions before I read your poem. You are a word artist, blending style, picture and letters to deliver a clear thought.

Wow, that pic is almost disconcerting to the eye...lol! :) But I can see where it fits your 'varied' theme here... One might almost say that your offering is an ominous foreshadowing to sides and views that seem to be solidifying on the national landscape... :) Thanx for sharing and best of luck! ;) Yvette

I was intrigued by your title and vivid artwork selection. Your use of alliteration added to the intensity of your message about finding ourselves. Best wishes in the 5-7-5 contest- Joan

This is a wonderful 5-7-5 poem. I like the way the colors of the font pull colors out of the picture. This is a very nice little pome to start the new year. Blessings and all the best in 2020.

So is fashion forming us? Or are we fitting fashion to our own varied forms? I like your presentation of the abstract picture and using the same colors in your poem, and using the blue for all the f-alliterative words. Happy New Year, Bill!

Interesting artwork choice. Very colorful presentation. The new year encourages people to try new ventures. "Fashioning" is a great word to describe the feelings at the beginning of a new year. "Form" and "fit" also work in very nicely. Best wishes for a wonderful New Year! jusi

Hi Bill, we do adapt, don't we? As if we have any choice in the matter if we want to live. You've got to roll with the punches, as they say. The big question is... what's coming next, and will we be able to survive it?

The 20s will likely bring civil upheaval at some level. A renewed Trump presidency will be seen by liberals as proof that democracy is dead. If liberals somehow get in, they will be stifled by a senate that?s seen as OWNED.

Hi Bill. I like this colorful display. One thing we can be sure of in 2020 will be ups and downs, nothing different from past years. There's good and bad in all of them. It's how we react to them that determines which. HNY to you and yours. Marilyn

This is a great 575 with a special message, Bill. Yes all people are different each with something to offer to the mix. Your presentation is great--the image, the font colors, and the alliteration of 'f'. Thanks for sharing and best wishes. Respectfully, Jan
