Snow Globe Sonnet
Doggerel Dave said:

I have a snow dome (or globe) , but after your sonnet I really don\'t need both. Your piece doesn\'t need dusting. and is solidly constructed.
I\'d just like to know whom is the \'you\'?

Snow Globe Sonnet
jarcher54 said:

You\'ve created quite the snow globe yourself. Your piece is small enough to hold in your hand, sits quietly until the reader picks it up, and the more you look the more the wind blows and the more the snow shifts and amazes. You\'ve composed a lovely short swirling dream that I plan to pick up again every so often and give it a fresh shake. Bravo Matthew.

Sing Me a Christmas Song
Friendship said:

Your poem revolves around nostalgia, longing for the innocence of childhood, and the search for hope and joy during the Christmas season. The poet reflects on how the magic of Christmas has faded with time, feeling disconnected from the joy it once brought. The poem captures the desire to reconnect with that lost sense of wonder through music and memories, suggesting that music has the power to evoke emotions and rekindle hope.

Ah yes set to good rhyme and meter the clean up of the feast. I always hated that because everyone always found an excuse to leave early. Well done

I remember as a child having one and it seemed that the answers were never what I wanted and so just like life itself the questions were asked with trepidation and disbelief. Nicely done

The Living Tapestry of English
Doggerel Dave said:

While multilingual people have all my admiration, for English is my only language, in it I feel I have more than enough to cope with, though all I need to convey my meaning.
Great account of it\'s foibles, dimensions and eccentricities.
