Sleigh All Day

All bundled up from head to toe... 

We climbed up the Hill with our 

Red Sleds in tow in the newly fallen Snow... 

The bright Red Cardinals were flying around 

like The Red Baron in his Airplane seeking Adventure. 

We could hear the Sleigh Bells as Neighbors were 

on their way to worship at the Church in the Valley.  

Red Poinsettas smiled as we glided down into 

a Wonderland of glistening ice cycles like 

Chimes in the midst of heavenly bliss.  

Snow Angels kissed each little Sparrow 

where seeds of blessings were sprinkled...

This brought me back to my childhood, Pat. I remember dragging my sled to the top of the hill to ride down....total happiness and all smiles. my daddy would sometimes sit on the sled with me. Nice memories. This season seems to bring us all back to a simpler happier time! Your poem is a lovely happy snapshot, Pat. Lydi**

[Patricia Wedel]

Lydi dear... a snapshot is always at the top of our
Holiday wish. Eggnog and cookies and memories
of a Star that shines for every one that believes in
Candles burning ... and hearts yearning for hope, health and happiness. Blessings when love and giving
bring us together. Love and Goodwill... tenderly, Pat

[Fran Marie]

dearest Fran Marie.. yes, Red is a great color for Christmas; however I do love Blue lights best of all... especially a Rooftop trimmed with Blue lights. Wishing you a great year as we pray for guidance for everyone. 💕 love and Blessings... tenderly, Pat

[Coyote Poetry]

A wonderful poem shared dear Pat. My daughter took my grandchildren snow sledding yesterday. These are the good days. I liked the description of fun in the poem. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

Amen

[Betty Hermelee]

I love the way to harken in the snow with birds of the season... you never seem to forget your birds, even more lovely against the white snow...all in the Christmas spirit... love the poem! Happy Holidays, stay safe,
Best., B

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Betty... you are a Poem dressed for the occasion with hand Muffs and other stuff to play in the Snow. Time to lay in the Snow and make Angel Wings as we did long ago. Wishing you the Merriest Christmas. Pat

[Stella Armour]

Ah how lovely when a poem creates wonderful images and brings back memories of happy days.
How i would love the new generation to be able to make such memories ... maybe with a little faith they will :)

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Stella... I remember when beautiful Sleds trimmed Red were on display in all the Hardware Stores and in the Top of Santa’s Listfir boys and girls. My almost grown grandchildren were always ready to Play in the ⛄️ Snow. I know their children will do the same. 💕 love and blessings in a one horse open Sleigh with Bells 🔔 ringing. gently, Pat

[John the Baptist]

This poet has a talent for recreating a scene from the past and placing the reader in the middle of it. The very descriptive language almost makes us feel the nip in the air. It is like looking at an old style Christmas card.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest John... I tucked your lovely Review in my Christmas Stocking and hung it with the Children’s secret gifts. A lovely Sentimental thing to say. Wishing you a Blessed Christmas with colored lights and dreams come true. tenderly, Pat

[Patricia]

This gave me wonderful childhood memories and those with my children now I just need some grandchildren

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Patricia... you can always Snow Ski ...
while your limbs are Strong. Thanks for being a swell friend... Happy Holidays. Pat

[barleygirl]

Poinsettias must be most iconic holiday symbol for me. They're such a contrast to all else in the backdrop (barren white snow for some, still brown falling leaves for others). They stand out & say: Look at me! Look at me! That's how it is with every single fawna/flora you personify in your poems & this one is no slouch in that department. Mentioning the "Red Baron" really pops with childhood remembrance, adding to the otherwise childlike wonder you convey from top to bottom. Haven't had a winter scene like this myself, but you make me feel as if I'm there! Here's wishing a bright poinsettia week for you as you soak in the sacred run-up to Christmas (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Patricia Wedel]

Margie... you are the Angel on Top of our Tree... you see things from a Bird’s Eye view... it would be fun to go Sledding with you... or at least a Sleigh Ride with Horses and Sleigh bells 🛷... stopping for a Hot Toddy at a Pub... Merriest 🎄 Christmas...
Lady Pat lol.

"Chimes in the midst of heavenly bliss.
Snow Angels kissed each little Sparrow

This is glorious music in the form of glorious poetry dear Pat. Artwork is precious. Every line and image like Christmas gifts just opened. Love all the red in your images and references to Cardinals and of course my favorite- Snoopy & The Red Baron!

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Annette... You have been the Best Tonic to enjoy a Yule Log by a warm fire.... with Snow ⛄️ gently falling... with a Cuppa spiked Eggnog. Thanks for stopping by. Merriest Christmas. Happy New Year... 💕 love and best wishes... Pat

And I would still be joining in with them if it weren't for the fear of being the "in other news" part of the news, where someone that should have more sense are airlifted to the jigsaw hospital where they put people back together again.
I ever do learn though, so remember to watch the news all the way through to the end 😊

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Lorry... since I went Snow skiing when I was younger, I can appreciate your review. Although I never broke a limb on my body, it is a bit hazardous.
Anyway, thanks for your visit and glad you have enough sense to stay safe with your feet firmly on the ground. Merry Christmas dear heart. gently, Pat

[Chris Shaw]

This poem has such a Christmassy feel about it Pat, and yet it takes me back five years. That was the last time I went sledding. Climbed the hills of our valley with our grandchildren and went whizzing down I did with Robbie behind me. Exhilarating, funny, and my cheeks were rosy red with cold. I love the way you bring nature into your lines, especially our avian friends. Thank you for bringing that memory back. It was delightful. Take care dear poet.

Chris

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Chris... so thoughtful of you to review my poem... I have read your last poem which is quite extraordinary... I will be commenting on your poems and others also... when I can wear my thinking Cap and keep up with the brilliance of you and other artists of words and so forth. It will be my pleasure. truly, Pat
