......An Old Fashioned Christmas
Crystaline laughter, greetings, and snowflakes.
Tinselled trees draped with ribbons, laces, and
Bows. Tiny, sparkling glasses of sherry.
Ladies in delicate chiffon. Berry
Woven wreaths of holly, juniper, wound
With silvered streamers, curling round the door
Open to all, this season of Good Will.
Winter not allowed, yet the outside chill
Accompanies merry, homeward bound guests.
Blazing fireplaces wait patiently to
Warm and cheer those opening the door. Frost
Breaths soon disappear. Parties are hosted
Each night of this Season. Friends not alone,
Family gathered again all at home.

This one reads really smoothly. It is easy to see all the reds and greens of the season. You have a really polished free-form style that makes it a joy to read the words over and over. Well Done!...TD

yes I do and that, too. I can remember things back to actually being three years old. I remember hanging my doll's laundry on a clothes line. My mom even took a picture. Amazing and the strange fact I still enjoy doing it only with my actual clothes as an adult.

This paints a beautiful picture-it's bursting with gorgeous imagery . With a well-constructed, wonderful flow you have captured a warmth from beginning to end that is what Christmas is meant to be.
