This verse touched my heart, as it triggered many fond memories of time shared with friends and family.


The rhyme pattern works well and creates a smooth flow.

The sensory words that you selected worked well to pull me into your writing.

Happy holiday's!!!

This is a wonderful Christmas poem evocative of the extended family holidays we had when growing up. We had Christmas Eve at my grandparents house with all the aunts and uncles and cousins and on Christmas mornings we opened out gifts at home. Those were lovely times and you poem and the picture reminds me of those days.

    Mary, thanks so much for sharing your fond memories. Sadly, I feel as though these old traditions are fading away.

Pretty good, Jim. It brings back memories when our family would tramp out through the woods in search of a Christmas tree. I've got to drag mine out of the attic in a few days.

Your poem for the club read well, JLR. Your words plus the
picture made a memorable poem. I liked the rhymes, the
smooth flow, the great imagery, and the wonderful message.
After the time spent getting the tree, the family celebrates with
good food, a warm fire, and the knowledge that their day had
many blessings.
Thanks for participating, Jan

A free flowing poem with unforced rhymes. The words are homey and comfortable. The narrative stays on point. The presentation adds to the narrative. The whole is artisticly arranged.

Thanks for sharing.

Snow does show it is December. You have chosen a good picture fit this poem.

I am not touched by the following sentence as I miss both my mom and my bf wife. They are gone am I haven't a cooked Christmas meal for years but hotel restaurant meals to celebrate the season.

Thanks for sharing this piece with us.
Ma has a hearty meal soon to be served.

-You did a good job with your poem,
and it represents the picture very well.
-Effective imagery and rhyme that
create a vivid word picture of each scene.
-There is a fresh scent from the newly cut tree,
with the deer in the snow under the full moon,
and the "hearty meal" topped off with "fresh apple strudel."
-That is a good way to end the festive meal.
-Well done!!
