Good luck in the Christmas poetry writing prompt entry. Loved the log burning on the hearth. Yule be lucky to find an evergreen in the snow. Loved your little poem and wish it was snowing here! We have fantastic plastic trees and glass baubles! You are fortunate to be able to celebrate Christmas in the snow. We just get sand in our 'cossies' flies in the ham and mossies in our bed! Heh,heh. I liked your little poem, thank you for writing about one of the special parts of Christmas - The Tree!

That fire looks really inviting, especially on these cold winter nights. It's so warm, just like your poem. The tinsel reminds me of the guiding star, it glistens so bright.
A lovely little poem Brooke, which has good imagery and rhyme. A pleasure to read. Good luck with the contest.
Best wishes,
Malcolm

Brook,
Queen of poetry you've written another excellent triolet poem "Hanging Tinsel on the Evergreen". I like the lines:
then watch the silver garlands gleam
as toasty flames grow ever higher
Your poem about Christmas is a great entry in the contest. The color scheme and font enhanced your enjoyable holiday triolet poem.
The rhymes were spot on. I'd recommend your poem for others to read. Thanks for sharing.
Melissa.

Comment from Jazh
This is delightful - a French tradition described in French form - most appropriate. Of course, the thought of having a fire here right now makes me sweat profusely! lol Flowing and lyrical, as always...good luck with it. :)

LOL Depends on how you look at "ass-backwards" really, doesn't it, Northerner?
Comment from ArtGal
Brooke, this is just lovely! I think tinsel really makes the tree come alive and shine. It's time consuming but so worth it. I love your line, "and place a Yule log on the fire." I love my fireplace, so beautiful and really warms the room. You used two of my faves, tinsel and fireplace, I enjoyed!

Comment from Sasha
Yes, I read the notes, did me no good whatsoever, but I should get credit for at least trying. Even not understanding the rules I found this a lovely and delightful poem. It really conveys very nicely the peaceful atmosphere of sitting by the fire and silently enjoying the beauty of the Christmas tree. Very nice work and excellent entry for the contest too.

Comment from Jarlsbane
Hi Brooke! Lovely poem and with such a nicely homey christmas theme... love them I do! These are great and I think you should pull them together into a book- even if you do it on here only- I think it would be wonderful to see all your christmas themed poems grouped together in one place.

The burning of the Yule Tide Log will bring about flames which will be reflected off of shiny material. Very well written. Good luck in your contest.
