one innocent babe
born two thousand years ago
world forever changed

hustle and bustle
sea of humanity flows
winter wander-land

tropical weather
childhood winters must make do
northern state of mind

still and silent nightcrunch of snow-pack under foot
homing feels so good

cold of december
forgotten in season's hope
bearing peace and love

Christmas magic all over. I liked all of them.
brings back such happy memories. i loved the arrangement and simplicity of this piece...the stanza beginning with ´´ tropical weather ´´ and ending in ´´ northern lights ´´ was most wonderful...
happy holidays!
there are some really good word pairings in these...winter wander-land, northern state of mind, and hope in a rainbow of shine...all neat little packages of meaning.
The lines "snow-pack under foot/homing feels so good" are so beautiful! That is the exact feeling I experience this time of year. Cold and darkness really do send us in!
Wonderful sequence.

What a way to kick off the 12 days of Christmas! You did a wonderful job; I loved the structure.
I love the first two stanzas the best. They capture the wonderous feeling of this season.
silence is spongelike..."quiet absorbing winter silence"....I have never thought of silence this way and I love the notion...I will take it with me..."night crunch of snow-pack"...fantastic...I hear it...my toes feel cold and then in your close..."homing"....they are warmed by your words. The entire compilation is heart warming...thank you! Happy, happy, happy holidays!

there are very nice. i especially like, crunch of snow-pack under foot... i could feel, hear, and see it all at once... a total experience.
I really liked how you interspersed the photographs. Very creative.
All wonderful poems. And the photos works really well with the poems
You begin with serenity:
to sit in quiet
absorbing winter silence

And weave peace and love all throughout. I felt like I heard someone singing when I read your poem. Beautiful photos too.
The second one actually gave me goosebumps! And your photos are beautiful. So glad I found your blog. Happy Christmas
