This Tuesday finds me cuddled up at home with my eldest while she fights off a bad cold, but I had to take a moment to share a petite pen, 20 words or less, written to this iconic scene of a Christmas tree hunt, which won first place in a contest this past week. If you’re inspired by the image, the season, the mood of it all, please join me in writing some brevity. If you post to your own page, be sure to tag it #petitepen and ping it back here for all to enjoy.

Merry Tuesday!

In Search of Warmth

Christmas trees create
their own tracks
alongside winter game.
Moonlit,
shadows stretch the same,
wobbly beings
in search of warmth.

  6. harvest is gone
    yet, heart, and hearth are
    still ablaze
    under the magic
    of the moons’
    gaze

    Always a delight. Wishing you a very happy and peaceful holiday weekend, K. 💜
