The Hallmark Man Visited My Backyard He brought his little bag of tricks and through the night, began to flick from his little bag of treats a landscaped scene so very neat ~ one sees upon a Christmas card, what transpired in my backyard… early, early this morning riser, little sleep doesn’t leave me wiser but see the dreamscape set, and more! ‘cause the Hallmark man came at four and set before me such a scene yes, it was a vision’s dream… Fall’s colors covered my earth’s floor crystal sprinkles covered them more with little light, the sparkling set before my eyes, beauty, met and all I could think as I opened the door was that “the Hallmark man came the night before…” ©Karilea Rilling Jungel 11/11/00 revised 11/28/01 |

And if you hadn't fallen charm to the ways of the "Sandman" then you may have had the chance to watch the "Hallmark" man do his magic. I do love it when you bring us your refined style to offer a majesty of nature through your eyes. |

What a nice refreshing blend of poetry and nature. A Hallmark Day, could have been a Kodak moment accompanied by your words. |

Titia...my husband just asked "will anyone overseas know what you are talking about?" LOL... Over here we have a card company called Hallmark... over the years, they have produced beautiful Christmas cards with the lovely crystal glitter, often a Currier & Ives theme, always something that one would want to hang on to over the years... so my little Dittie refers to the fact that after a good hard freeze, and the land is covered in crystal ice...my backyard looks like "The Hallmark man" paid a visit... thanks for asking! Everyone else!? Thank you SO much!!! |
