Comment from twinklepoems
YES! I love it! Your poem is like the little surprise you found on the tree. This was a sweet surprise in the pine trees. Your images are very vivid and I like how you incorporate the sense of taste in this poem. I love the line "it nestled there 'twixt the needle of a pine". Also liked, "to slip a languid swipe across my tongue" (you have such great visual and sensory images! Then I loved the light fairytale twist of your last two lines and how you rhymed them. I enjoyed this very much!

Comment from ravenblack
interesting twist on a fantasy poem. can remember many a time setting up the Christmas tree ( unfortunately if you love the sent, fortunately if you don't like vacuuming needles)and lo and behold, a candy cane. don't know how old, but they keep, right? I always peel them w/the same trepidation and, though maybe a couple years old, still hold that magic, minty taste. can't help but think that perhaps you have done the same. very original work.

Thank you Ravenblack. You nailed it. That was exactly my inspiration. In fact I was originally going write about an abandoned tree in an alley, but my pen drew me in another direction.
