Hi all.
 Since I am ineligible to post for the contest, I just wanted to start the snowball  rolling with these two pieces...Again - my posts do NOT count - only want to share the spirit of the season with our readers.      Christmas Tree Light glimmers; silver tinsel shimmers serenading ornamental shades of a satin emerald and ruby parade mingling with silhouettes of aged crystal cascade Snowmen, Pixies and Angels to see Atop the wise men three… Christmas Tree © 2005 Lorraine M Kanter Nature's King
The firs rise touching star-twinkled skies standing vigil o’er evening’s glow wrapped in sparkling charms of glitter gold, ashen snow embraces kisses of crimson berries below where silvery cherubs dance and sing …symbols of joy to bring Nature’s King. © 2005 Lorraine M Kanter ·······  ·······"It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to." ~ J.R.R Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

A shame that your work is not eligible. These are really beautiful......

Hi Lori,
Well done for these. I aam especially impressed with the way in which you have composed poems to form but then enhanced the visual effects to make the Crimble decorations - well done, indeed. J. |

Hey Lori,
I agree with others that it is unfortunate that it is not eligable, as both would surely be the top competition and most likely a good run for winner. I admire the talent you've showed in detailing the scene in a crisp, vivid image that the reader can become apart of... Excellent work!

Hi Lori,
 Two bright, shiny Christmas baubles to grace any home.  :holly: These would be lovely written inside Christmas Cards don't you think? Much more uplifting than the usual trite words they use which convey nothing of the spirit of Christmas. Simply lovely Lori, thank you for the read. :pharoah2 ······· ······· Love

Hugs, Liz Hi Liz. :reindeer: Well, it's OK, this contest is something Butch and I both wanted to share with others, so we decided before we started this annual tradition that anything we might post would not be eligible. :dove: I am planning to write a few more of these Octa-tri's just for fun!
