Lovely, just a lovely
spiritual piece of verse,
your words carolling of
Christmas time.

A pleasureable read, Brooke.
Margaret.

Thank you, Margaret - I take it you're back from your Monday lunch :-) Brooke

Yes - it's very quiet in the pubs/restaurants today - but we had
a nice lunch and dropped Sid at Waitrose
to do his weekly shopping -- there's a
bus that takes him home right to his door.
There's 5-6 women in the cafe who save a seat for him, to share a pot of tea -- he
might be 95 on the 1st Jan, but he is still
popular with the ladies. Has lovely manners. Margaret.

Took me a minute, but I did re-a-lize that!
I love the poem, but then, you are the poet master. Well done on this one, and I enjoyed the read very much. I like that you send yours Heavenward, instead of to others as we often do. You got your audience right! Blessings, Deb

He reads the list, snorts in despair,
as children wish upon him
all manner of fun without care
and parcels joy within.
Another post drops in his lap;
she wants a friggin' pony!
He reads the list, snorts in despair.
He feels utterly lonely.

I love you, Mike - a friggin pony! LOL What a great satiric commentary. Somewhere far across the ocean is a young man who always makes me smile (except of course when he is exploding trolls and then I squirm). Thanks so much. Brooke :-)

I see no other way that to use the 3 sllable pronunciation on the word realize. Your poem was giving, hopeful, and showed concern for others. Its rhyming was good and the rhythmn was very smooth. Good write. Tony

Thank you, Tony. Believe me, I would have people telling me it's only 2 syllables if I hadn't written that. LOL It's always great to hear from you :-) Brooke

Lovely tiolet, as usual, dear Brooke.

Inspirational theme, seasonal, yet universal. :)

Great artwork. Nice touch!

The musical quality of this form never ceases to sing pleasantly when read aloud. This is not exception. Loved this part:

as carols sing of peace on Earth
that we might realize the worth
found in these pure and Holy words


Love,
rd

Thank you, rama devi - I often wonder if writing in this form is cheating since its musicality is what carries the poem! LOL Brooke :-)

Dear Brooke,
Can't fault the metre or the rhyme
So guess I'll say it one more time.
Another perfect little verse
To which I can't say I'm averse
And so I wait with heartfelt hunger
For something just a little longer.

Regards
Reg

Hi Brooke...as I was hunting for a picture for my latest post I saw this one and couldn't help but wish I could jump into that scene. Times were so simple then. I love the rhyme as it is well done and lyrical. Excellent triolet....blessings....chey

Hello adewpearl,

I enjoyed this poem. Its format reads and flows well and I have no suggestion for improvement. I particularly liked the following line:

I send my wishes Heavenwards
(good imagery)

A very good triolet. Thank you for the Author's notes.

Regards, LateBloomer
