I enjoyed reading your poem, Melissa. You used great descriptive words/phrases. I could see this place even if a picture were not included. But the picture is beautiful. I like the formatting of your lines. Good job nd thanks for sharing. Jan

Hi Jan... thank you. I am delighted that you enjoyed this one. I just thought it looked so welcoming in comparison to the weather and twilight.
All the best

Comment from Cindy McIntyre
Wonderful! There's no place like home. :) Lamplight bathes...a beautiful opening line. I love your word choice, "crystalline"... This is a well-written poem. It's a feel good writing.

Thank you, Cindy. I was hoping to share a homey scene that beckons each of us to our homes. I am grateful for your time and review.

Comment from LisaMay
Gosh, this is deja vu... I nearly posted a haiku on this very same subject, but I'll save it for later. I think it must be a strong sentiment, to be welcomed home, and you have portrayed that beautifully. The word "crystalline" is really suitable for the winter image you have chosen.

Hello, LisaMay... thanks for the great review. I am sure your Haiku will be great because this is such a universal sentiment. Have a great day... stay warm.

I like your use of "bathes" for what the lamplight is doing to the window panes. And there's something welcoming about a lighted window in the dark. Lovely one, Melissa!

Thank, Helen. I was trying to portray a sentiment that we all can relate to... being welcomed home. Lamplight is always a trigger for me.

Beautiful saying for a light in the window, Melissa. Finding where to go and with a welcome to boot is what everyone desires in life. Someone that cares. Thank you for sharing your poem.

Comment from Irish Rain
'put a candle in the window'...that's what this reminds me of.
Nothing more welcoming than the soft glow of light, and smoke coming from the chimney.
Just lovely Miss Melissa!!
Blessings...

Comment from Dean Kuch
Ya know, Metallica, one of my favorite bands, says as much in one of their songs titled, "Hero of the Day", Melissa.
The window burns to light the way back home
a light that warms no matter where
they've gone.
they're off to find the hero of the day
but what if they should fall by someone's wicked way?
still the window burns,
time so slowly turns
someone there is sighing
keepers of the flames
do you feel your names?
do you hear your babies crying?" ...
Lovely poem as well as the presentation.

Comment from Teresa Alford
There is nothing like seeing a light burning in the window when arriving home. Especially if the day has been long, absence has been extensive. Motel 6 had it right when they said they leave the light burning. The picture is great. It reminds me of a Thomas Kindle pic. Good job, Melissa!! TA ";~)

Comment from Linda Engel
My sentiments exactly. I adore your photo choice. I love snow scenes and this one is beautiful. I small bright light feels warm and cozy . I would love to be in that cabin with several pots of coffee, good books and my paints and drawing books.
Very nice . This reminds me of several of my posts that I wrote about cabins and being alone.,at home. Very nice.
