I enjoyed your ode poem. Good job with the prompt. Your syllable count is good. I see no changes. Best wishes in the contest.

This five - seven - five ode, Year Review, does exactly as it is advertised, as well as throwing in a good thought for 2016. Happy day.

Yes, these short poems have to be short but sweet or to the point for sure. I think you hit the nail on the head. Well written. I wish you luck in the contest.

Drew (Happy New Year)

Some had a good year and others have more bad than good and will feel different about the past year, but we all see forward to a better new year. Good luck with the contest.

You've written a excellent 5-7-5 poem
Perfect positive review of 2015,
hopefully most can say the same thing
in their personal lives
Understanding oneself is the first step
in a better future
Hope you have an even better, fuller new year
Well done

Me too, poet. Tired of hearing woes about Muslims killing innocent people. Lawlessness black hating those who try and keep the peace. Best to you in the contest.

Your author's notes said it better than my meager comments ever could. Indeed, 2015 was a good and productive year. The greater wish is that 2016 will prove to be a much more productive year, providing and even higher level of understanding, compassion for the less fortunate, and a forgiveness for those who attempt to mask their lack of talent by launching unfair criticism at their more gifted brethren.
