Year Sixteen

The year fifteen has gone away It’s memories scattered still The year sixteen has come to stay I must remember each new day And each life and new thrill The year fifteen has gone away A life is worth all they say friendship blends love and skill The year sixteen has come to stay I’ll work some and then I’ll play life of love; mine to fill The year fifteen has gone away I want to live for each new day spread my love and goodwill The year sixteen has come to stay I cheer a brand new year today hopeful heart you will fulfill The year fifteen has gone away The year sixteen has come to stay

16 - that was a long time ago for me. I graduated high school at that age. I am 60(!) now, Cherish your favorite poems - they will nourish you in the future. Keep them close to your heart. Nice villanelle! Peace & Love Matthew Anish

what a wonderful idea for a villanelle. Discussing the two years, one come and one gone. VERY nicely done!

Robyn, a wonderful write. I see a more promising year ahead. However, I was not done closing 15. Anyways, enjoy your way... work and fun sound nice. Give all you can this year. Like 15 ...16 will leave us too... lol...then hello to year 17. My favorite number. :) a nice form. Cheers to the brand new year. Skat

Haha, 15 is my favorite number. I guess that's partly a reason for me not wanting to say goodbye. Although, my son had a lot of health issues in 2015. I'm glad to see it leave for that reason. You're right. Each year has to leave. Sooner or later. :-) Thanks for reading.
