I decided to write my own Possibility poem in imitation of Emily, and here it is:
Possibility
I dwell in Possibility —
I peer out of my Gate
And wonder what Surprises
And Happiness await.
Perhaps a new Adventure
Is just around the Bend
Or maybe just a little Walk
With a familiar Friend.
I’m off to gather Paradise
And bring an Armload Home —
I’ll spread it out upon the Floor
To make the Evening bloom.

Dear Ruth, I am in love with this poem! Thank you for channeling your inner Emily and making my morning bloom. xo
Spot on, Ruth! I love the whole thing, but that last stanza especially makes my heart smile.
It's a lovely anticipation of the new year, Ruth. I love that final verse, too, the spreading out for evening celebration.
How lovely to think of the new year as a surprise just waiting to be discovered. I haven't chosen my OLW yet, but love the sound of yours.
This poem has such a happy sound. The happy sound of possibility. I wish I was that familiar friend walking with you. Enjoy unpacking the possibilities of your year.
Possibility is such a beautiful great word. And your poem speaks to so many possibilities. Thanks for sharing.
This is beautiful! That final stanza is my favorite but the whole poem is a delight. Possibility is such a positive word!
This is so lovely, Ruth. And, as others have commented, the last stanza is glorious! Happy New Year!
What a great word! This poem is bubbling with possibilities!
Gorgeous poem Ruth, I love it, it's so light and airy, filled with wonder and "Possibility."
Yes to POSSIBILITY and to "gathering paradise!"
Wow two great possibilities! Just fabulous.
Ruth, using Emily's poem as a mentor text opened the world of possibility up to you. Well done!
Your poem is lovely, and definitely gathers much possibility. I wish you many adventures!
I love, love, love your version, Ruth!
