beautiful Nan.. you know I always look forward to a Nan sonnet...and Im always impressed and taken by them
the pic is lovely.the colors enchance the poems imagery perfectly..
I was thinking...something so small a single
cranberry..yet it is one of the most widely
shared traditions at our holiday tables ...
and always will be.
what grapes are to wine...cranberry is to stuffing  
you've penned a perfect tribute.

I liked it just saying for Mark and not mentioning the challenge LOL...   This is beautiful Nan.  The words and the sonnet.  I guess you know that I love sonnets and am working real hard to do my first one. You have penned a beauty and you know I am saving this one don't you?  Yeah you do. BTW...will you email me and tell me how to get the poem on the background?

Thanks

There's nothing like homemade cranberry sauce(Ocean Spray, of course) It's so easy even I can do it, and there's nothing that compares to a sonnet by Nan, of course! This is delightful, Nan!

okay I didn't complain much when you edited it from saying for Mark to for Mark's challenge but NOW I am complaining...(sweetly though on my hands and knees) about my e-mail not being in yet.  Just a "Sweet" reminder ya know....not pushing or anything.  (tapping fingers) I just didn't want you to forget that I existed .  ( pacing floor).  Oh, and it wouldn't be right for me to come by for some more of "YOUR" ocean "SPRAY" and not tell you just how wonderfully "SWEET" I found it to be.   Still loving it much.  Very "BEAUTIFUL" and ful"FILLING" sonnet from you.

Thanks again, all...

serenity - Somehow I always seem to be "volunteering"... and you can have the recipe..

Denise - Shhhh - Don't tell them it's only a bag of cranberries, a cup of water, and a cup of sugar boiled together... That was it, wasn't it?

Bill - Thank ya, thank ya... Been there, eh?

Elizabeth - So come visit!!

Mark - Don't look now, but I changed it again... and I'll email you tomorrow..
