I really liked your poem because it went with the picture and the line, "to make a cozy Christmas scene," was a great touch because you can be under your blanket huddling up in front of the fire. So thank you for this poem. Flyboy130

Thank you so much, flyboy - I really love writing in the triolet style, and I also love Christmas trees and fireplace fires. It is always wonderful to be able to write about the things that mean the most to us, and it is great to hear other people enjoyed reading what we have written! Brooke :-)

I don't know how you do it - but you do it so darn well! I'll just stay seated at your feet and see if anything rubs off on me. (or hits me on the head. LOL )
Personally I am taking a short break - just finished NaNoWriMo - now it's time to do some house cleaning (in more ways than one LOL).
Thanks again for sharing.
Sincerely,
womanwriter

Womanwriter, I understand the whole writing takes over your life thing!! Let us just say that Better Homes and Gardens would NOT be interested in photographing my apartment. LOL Thanks so much :-) Brooke

Brooke, you have taken me back to childhood when yes, we hung tinsel on the Christmas tree with dad putting a log on the fire and kicking back on the sofa. Pleasant memories. Thank you for reminding me with your beautifully written words. No corrections needed. k

I love this Christmas poem Brooke! The yule log fire while decorating the tree is warm and toasty-very inviting. Nice job and sorry I am so late reading...

First triolet I've ever enjoyed reading. Wish we had a fireplace, but we've got a roof and propane so it could be worse. "Hang tinsel" line is my fave, of course. I don't see any need for error and correction. later and God bless,s hy

Comment from LauraKatherine
Such a cozy poem, Brooke. It's a pretty cold day (for Alabama) so I needed a nice cheery fire poem!
Loved the crackle of the "cozy Christmas" line; the sizzle of the "s" sound (tinsel, place, etc.); the sudden "pop" of the t wound in tinsel, toasty. Really mimics the sound of a fire in a fireplace: contained, warming, delightfully unpredictable in how the flames will sound in the next moment.
My favorite line:
watch the silver garlands gleam/as toasty flames grow ever higher (so visual...Christmas cheer embodied in garlands and a Yule log.)
Great job and good luck in the contest! LK

Hi, Brooke, There is something about the triolet that really gives motion to a poem. I can visualize children holding hands and dancing around the tree in this cozy scene. Great job! Mary

Hi Brooke - This is a nice submission into the Christmas Poem contest. It is simple, and yet with the repeating lines, so very typical of the joy we feel at Christmas time. This could very well make a nice little carol. Rose.
