Ornaments of love Now the sun a twinkle gives while catching dew in morning's sieve and lemons on a lemon tree are ornaments of love to me Here early morning December brings skies cleaned by Santa Ana’s wing the flowing invisible angel wind that leaves the air a sparkling And after night and winter’s chill brings crisp and clean to the browning hills I remember well the Christmas tree and icicles tossed so merrily Thrown by random hands of four while laughter sang and fire roared. My memory stores a family song with mother on the piano strong and brother somber hiding there under the stool where he could share the movement of the peddles fast the soft persistent brother task Then I would sing the carols all so grand and loud the notes did fall that candles flickered and gramps woke-up and father clapped as I stood up The memory of an angel bright that graced the room a holy sight made of laughter and dressed in song so large with us the family throng and what had made her presence known wasn’t wrapped but fully shown by us together in a place where love herself saw fit to grace. Now the sun a twinkle gives while catching dew in morning's sieve and lemons on a lemon tree are ornaments of love to me ___ 12-99 |

Oh, Martie, this poem does paint a wonderful picture! Never having thought of lemons at Christmas time, this verse especially leaves me thinking. "Now the sun a twinkle gives while catching dew in morning's sieve and lemons on a lemon tree are ornaments of love to me" I so enjoy your lovely poetry, Martie! Merry Christmas to you Sweet One! miscellanea ___ |

Well done, this has real potential it could easily become a one of those favoured classics that generations many years from now could still be enjoying reading and relaying. Well done sincerely. |
