A lovely thought! I'm so glad you're adding to this book! Yes, it can be cold outside but the warmth of home and loving friends keep us comfortable no matter the temp!

    Thanks for the read. It is cold here too. We seemed to have a very short Autumn. It is winter weather here. Karen

Excellent chapter one for our Renga Book. The Renga form has the right composition of syllables and lines. Thank you for participating with such a beautiful verse.

I have two suggestions, change blanket with warm, and fire instead of fires because inside the house we have one fire ... unless there is one in every room ....

While snowfall keeps us inside
Fire and good friends warm us

    I thank you for your suggestions. The blanket is also a reference to "blankets of snow" and I referenced "us" in line one , so more than one fire is going.

When in life did that begin? I missed the person that had a fireplace while young and single and by the time we were wealthy enough to build a home with a hearth, the heart was more smoldering than burning brightly.
P.S. - due to maturity not disinterest

Yes, that's about all snow is any good for, keeping us inside, freezing our butts off when we're out, or causing us to slip and fall when we aren't wearing our anti-bust-your-butt shoes. Thanks for sharing.

    Good grief! What do anti-bust-your-butt shoes look like? Karen

Another one with this welcoming theme of comfort, cosiness and cocoa (see, you've got me doing it now). Just one thing: While snowfall keep(s) us inside. A great entry for the book. Well done, Karen! Debbie

Clever! A blanket of snow is a common description...you bring it inside to make the connection to what else can blanket us--and what cam beat good friends and a warming fire?

Should it be "snowfall keeps" .... Or "snowfalls keep"

???

Just a thought...

Oh I see what you mean now. You split up the one poem. I love the line "fires and good friends blanket us." Fires are one of the best things of the season.

    You betcha. the smell of the wood, the crackling sound, the snuggling. And maybe a nice creepy movie in black and white. Karen

This was a very good play on words. usually, we write bout being blanketed by snow, but in your work, it is the truer things that blanket us, friends and a nice warm fire.

What a lovely sentiment - our friends add the warmth and cover us with it like blankets.

First line, change "keep" to "keeps".
