Snow covered Branches sighing with Sunshine

Chickadees  are soft as Snow with sunshine smiles. 

as they sit perched on morning mists of dreams well spent...   

Christmas songs have all been rendered when Nat King Cole 

crooned Chestnuts on an Open Fire... we conspire together... 

Colored lights trim the Rooftops where sleigh bells play 

Silver Bells... it's Christmas time in the City where 

people danced around Macy's windows with fashions 

for a beautiful Lady... A Happy New Year to be Brave and well...

Special words from you, Pat., as ever always. However, they seem to me to be a touch pensive, to remind us of a calm space from glorious and holy theatre, to the could be wild reel of midnight if bit at all enjoyable year past. You've hinted at the colourful perhaps as a reminder that that is what it should have been, rather than what it was. Perhaps i've misinterpreted in which case, will re. review and willingly...

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Em... pensive means not cheerful or carefree... at least that is what Google said.
Our neighbors have decorated with colorful lights that we see more of from our home windows and I seem to see them through stained glass windows where the light shines through. The Spirit of Christmas is still part of celebrating love and giving. I love your description of a glorious and holy theatre.
Being sequestered does not keep us from seeing the Star from afar. It is an honor to see your touch of Wonderment. May the New Year bring healing to our World . Tenderly, Pat x

Your view looks to be a special gift, an extra.. and very wonderful. We need celebrate whatever we can, helps to lessen the otherwise, dear lady.xx

[Patricia Wedel]

Yes, lessen the otherwise, as we go about making gingerbread cookie as Grandfather Clock is synchronizing with Grandmother's Rocking Chair...
another Year is slipping away like Tears on Roses...
Be Brave and ever so Well... silver Bells will silently
play Auld Lang Syne... and weeping willows sway into
2021... as we Pray. tenderly, Petal x

I like snow covered branches but yet to have a winter snow christmas living down under its more like bushfires!

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Andrew... Yes, it would be an unusual occurrence To have Snow in Australia... the Kangaroos and Kuala Bears would be confused. Hope your days are blessed with Rest and Contentment. tenderly, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

Koala Bears seem to be a bit mischievous ...
but then so am I myself. Happy New Year without a tear. gently, Pat

dearest Gene.. you are an Earth Angel to leave such a beautiful review. Guys can be Angels also. Be Brave and well. tenderly, Pat

Those wonderful Christmas melodies....Nat King Cole and Bing Crosby crooning the oldies. They never go out of style. Macy's fancy decorations and snow in the streets. This year there are not many walking in the streets of New York....lockdowns prevent it. We have to hope that next year will be better. the imagery in your words is so lovely, Pat. Happy New Year, my friend. Lydi****

[Patricia Wedel]

A beautiful Ode to the New Year ... when hopefully
we will become a Nation of love and understanding...
notwithstanding the change of Seasons and children
wanting to mingle in playful arenas of learning and laughter. Yes, Lydi... we can only pray for new attitudes along with the Virus disappearing. Happy New Year, dear friend. gently, Pat

Your poem feels like a sparkling swishing ribbon that goes from nature sights to city lights, tracing a lyrical trail thru some holiday classics as a memorable soundtrack to your holiday scribble! Love your note of uplifting hope & cheer, much needed as we cast off the old cloak of 2020, donning new threads & a new attitude. Here's wishing you a happy new year that's as bright as the messages you share in verse, all year long! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Margie... “a sparkling swishing Ribbon” is like Randy Travis singing Pretty Ribbons... We are fortunate to survive and prayers will be answered. Wishing you a lovely New Year and blessings galore... Be Brave and Well... 💕 Pat x

Is there anything better than Bing or Nat singing Christmas songs. Your words always flow with such ease, I can hear the flow of your speech. I love that you tell the reader to be brave. For greatness and courage comes during a crisis

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Cherrie. The Music 🎶 of Christmas Joy
permeates my Soul as though we can rise above the
Turmoil and confusion and feel the Peace that Herald Angels sing about over the Manger where Wise Men leave their gifts for a Savior borne of Mary.
Be Brave and blessed. tenderly, Pat

Christmas Day is a snow-filled memory...
as we venture forth into an Intermission
before the Adventure of a New Year 2021...
Auld Lang Syne is our Song ... written by Robert Burns
in the Scots language. truly, the Author Pat
