Oh, it was all in his dreams. It's such an enticing ride you describe in your lovely poem. But, I agree, it would be no fun if your loved didn't sit next to you. Ulla:)))

another great poem about a simple event riding a sleight ride in the winter with your love by your side, and the last line is a nice twist as you recall the present day when that would not longer be possible. I like endings like this.

This is very nice. I like the theme and the colors. Makes me want to do the same with the missus. I only have one small suggestion.

notes:

With Harness bells tingling
As we go, You're my love
I'm your beau.

-change to-

With Harness bells tingling
As we go,
You're my love
I'm your beau.

I absolutely love the warm feeling that you've created in your poem! The image of the slow sleigh ride felt so peaceful. Your attention to the details really brings this scene to life. Your poem pulls at the heartstrings! It feels like a memory wrapped in love. Keep writing!

But my darling
I can't take that ride,
You're no longer here
To be by my side.

The ending of this poem really catches us off-guard, this note of sadness where there should be joy.

Oh this was such a happy, festive poem but the ending was a sad surprise. Unfortunately, Christmas is a sad time for so many for this very reason. May your memories keep you warm and may the true reason for Christmas bring you peace.

I really enjoyed reading this poem, it is so well rhymed and flows so well. I wasn't expecting such a sad ending, it brought
A lump to my throat. Best wishes. Jen.

Ouch! I was enjoying the ride, with a big ole smile on my face. From out of nowhere I was hit with the sad reminder that my "Ride or die" has left me to journey to another place. Now my desire to ride has also died.
