Kiss Of Snowflake ~ Quatern
A snowflake kisses windowpane; she sees it as a joyous tear, for coming up their country lane is fam'ly ... absent most all year. Their house is decked out festively; and snowflakes kiss their windowpanes, reminding her of Christmas trees with sparkling crystal candy canes. Her eyes alight in sweet refrain when gathered 'round mom's harpsichord, as snowflakes kiss the windowpanes they sing His songs so long adored; and soon, she's tucked snug as a bug in bed, though wakefulness remains. She sneaks a peek at good-bye hugs; while snowflakes kiss her windowpanes. Cathy Bollhoefer copyright Nov2005 |

Hi Cathy,
 What lovely, warm imagery of a real family Christmas.  I can feel the warmth inside that little house and the air of expectancy. And snowflakes kissing the windowpane. A picture perfect poem. Good luck with the competition. :lovie: ······· ······· Love

Cathy,
Delightful......loved the line about the snowflake kissing the windowpane. The poem reaches inside and touches those softer emotions.... Marcia
