Feeling a lot like Christmas
Freshly hewn logs
stacked in neat piles
dusted with a light layer
of soft snow
Christmas trees
lined up ready for sale
Excited children
with hearts aglow
Melodic carols being sung
Chestnuts on a fire
Jack Frost in the air
Memories from long ago

That sure puts me in the Christmas spirit! Thanks for sharing!
Reminded me of the cords of firewood needed to get through a winter in Maine.
Yes I remember the stacks of wood. Those are the winters that are exciting in my head. I just can’t live them in real time anymore 🥶
Your poem has a lovely seasonal tone, Christine! I just put another log on the log burner – it’s glowing!
Ahhh, there you go Kim. Another use of the word glow! 🙂❤️

Love this! For me, early morn when by husband is still abed, I sit in the living room with the tree lit, candles lit, darkness outside still….and that is the time when the memories come flooding in….and mostly I smile.
Thank you so much Lillian. I hope your Christmas is really special. Enjoy your family. 🙂❤️
Very seasonal poetry. 😍
