Traveling south today, this snowy scene inspired some brevity infused with images from a classic Christmas poem. Can you tell which one?

Happy holidays!
New-Fallen Dream
The white icing winter
glazes rocks
along a wrapping paper riverbed.
In my new-fallen dream,
the stones become
sugar plum confections.
Overhead,
stubborn leaves swoon,
dropping their powder sugar.
Daybreak’s orange slice
topped with Rainier cherry
garnishes the frothy sky.
More rapid than eagles,
a cloudy wreath covers
the prize.
I rub my thistly eyes.
The entire fancy
fragile as a Christmas Pizzelle.
My new-found dreams,
crumbling in the cruel current
of the alarm bell.

Thank you, Tom. I was inspired by the classic bedtime tale of Christmas Eve…I read it to my littles and then wrote this little poem. 💜🍷

Thank you, Beth. I wish it were so, but there’s always March (that’s when it likes to snow around these parts) 😉

I find mist transcendental
and, transformational
an equation, worth the budding
and the building
reviving my inner-child
a descendent of the past, yet
the present creator, and the principle ignitor
of a love that will last
A lovely poem, yours. Thank you for always creating this space to share creatively with you. 💜
