A Winter Christmas Card Comments

Rating: 5.0

I met you in a winter Christmas card.
The wind played carols through the evergreens.
Snow fell like angel birds on old tin roofs.
The mood was appalachian to the soul.

A truly beautiful portrait of the turning of the year. Prayers for all the souls who met you thus - but I think your poem is a tribute to a special friend of your verse. Such friendships may endure, and be passed on, each enriching the next. So it is with you, Sandra. This lovely poem evokes the dying of the light - the very point from which new hope is born. The shadows grow very long, this time of year. Though the winds are cold, they do sing carols. From such music, new music may be born. - Will

A meeting in a Christmas card, a threadbare sun, with a frost star sum the greatness of your poetry. STUNNING. Love, Susie xxx

Your lovely lyric carries us back to the warm images of our secure childhoods. The images of candles and frosted windows, snowfall and carols call us to a hallowed time.

I wish this poem didn't have an end. I wish it carried on forever. You took me into a world I didn't want to leave. The mood, though grey, had a mellow happiness - a happiness that lasts and doesn't go out with a flash. A beautiful Christmas Poem and what great timing. Though early, I am spurned on to send you my most sincere Christmas Greetings and a great 2008. Thank you Sandra for sharing your wonderful inner world and fanning the spiritual embers back to life. Take care....

You paint Christmas as I have never seen it and yet know it from the sort of card (anathema to us living in Australia) that must have inspired this gentle, pastel colored poem. Again, you personalize the picture and endow it with a soft melancholy - your 'threadbare sun' is magnificent. (God I'd love to create images like that!) Sandra, PoemHunter is so much the richer for your presence. love, Alison xxxx
