That's a Christmas smasher Mary. Love Ernestine XXX

It feels like hope and home and love.

Yeah, thanks David......I probably should've worked on this a bit more but it was just one of those poems that are just a 'thought' you get when you're doing something. I figured I'd post it anyway. I appreciate your advice and comment though. sincerely, Mary

This is a sweet poem. But a bit on a saccharine side for the upbeat meter. I think a longer scan (say iambic pentameter) would lend the poem a more dramatic feel. Alternatively you could do something with the 3rd stanza to heighten the narrative. It does not add very much information.
