Sonnet to Midnight My spirit’s not akin to New Years Eve My ear not tuned to strains of Auld Lang Syne Not even stars of evening, I believe Should mark their footsteps in eternal time I cannot celebrate a midnight’s toll That takes a magic moment in embrace Irrelevant to mankind as a whole Unnoticed by the glittering stars of space Each morning’s birth brings joys that mesmerize The way the heather blows as breezes shift The meadow changing with the seasons’ skies From green, to golden grain, to snowy drift Each midnight sky, each dawn, I consecrate I could not choose just one to celebrate Elizabeth Santos |

 (smiles) Oh my gosh, this is sooooooo beautiful, the stars twinkle in your heart in this beautiful sonnet! (sigh) May we not make choices but rather celebrate the blessings each day and night brings us! (kiss on cheek) I hope you had the merriest Christmas, sweet friend, we all love you so very much! (big hugggsssss) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Elizabeth, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Every single time I read one of your poems, I am amazed and delighted, and also wondering how long a person has to write to be as wonderful at it as you are! You inspire me. Thanks, Carrie Go ahead, push your luck; find out how much love the world can hold |

I love the title, and this message: "Each midnight sky, each dawn, I consecrate I could not choose just one to celebrate" I'll dance to that. |

Wonderful poem! I very very very rarely like sonnets (I concur with Ezra Pound on this point), but this one is exceptional! With all best wishes, Glenn Logan |
