Fay Slimm. said:

Yes those long-ago Wise men were very wise Brian - a charming and informative read. Gifts of great value were made in that humble household where news of great tidings was waiting with salvation in mind. I love the image you chose too.

CHRISTMAS GIFTS ~ An Acrostic Sonnet !

But arrgghh no, no heavy discussions about them being \'Magi\' (re: Magic) or \'astrologers\'. Astronomers yes maybe, seeing stars. A fine write and pic Brian. Some pics of the wise men have them looking about 5 million years old. They would never have made the journey! Well, I\'m millions of years old anyway. lol.

You\'re right Brian. Heehee me Advent Calendar has the wise men going to the stable! Jesus would not still be in the stable as a \'young child\'.
And the Epiphany comes after Christmas, not at Christmas itself.

ENGLAND IS COVERED IN SNOW ! A Villanelle
FredPeyer said:

Great pic, Brian! And as you so eloquently point out, snow can be both, beautiful and a pain in the neck!
The last time I shoveled snow was 30 years ago in Montreal!

Oohh a Villa-wotsit! So says Michael too. I dunno what it is, mind you. lol.
Well, at least it\'s English - the poem. Some have been appearing in Greek! Depends if things are \'all Greek\' to us, I suppose! Some gremlin got in.

Beautiful poem Brian. God designed the tree, knowing that it would be through the cross that man would be redeemed.

Fay Slimm. said:

The tree your wise words describe where its shade keeps saplings spiritually alive and its fruit feeds not only its own roots but all who partake makes wonderful reading my friend - an inspiring and worthy piece as a reminder and goes into my faves.

That was a lovely poem. Reminded me of a scripture story, one of my favorites when I was younger.

(I’m Canadian, by the way.)

A fine write Brian. Echoes of Psalms and other verses in this. Couldn\'t trace a verse with \'photosynthesising\' in it though! heehee.

TREASURE OF SNOW ~An Acrostic 8 2 4 Sonnet !
Laura🌻 said:

Mio Caro Amico BRIAN...
Today...First snowfall!
Beautiful sight. Thank God
I don’t have to shovel it!
As children, we didn’t have
to worry about shoveling as
a job we didn’t want to do!
We did it to have fun!
Regardless, I love the snow...especially at
Christmas time! No more skiing for me...7 pins in my ankle. Great noise makers
at the airport! Lol
Un forte abbraccio e baci...

HAIKU ITALIANU ~ Per LAURA con AMORE XOX
Laura🌻 said:

Buonasera Mio Caro Amico BRIAN...
Grazie Mille per la dedicazione! Sei Un amore! Very kind and thoughtful of you to write and dedicate this beautiful haiku to me! I remember well the romantic nights...the moonlit sky of my Pisa nights...of long ago where everywhere I looked, rainbows 🌈🌈I did see! Thank you for the memories my friend! Those memories are loving and precious never to be forgotten! It is uncanny how you chose to write the haiku about the Leaning Tower of Pisa without knowing my connection to Pisa! My maternal grandmother lived there. A few of my best years were spent in Pisa! Grazie! Un forte abbraccio e baci...

Fay Slimm. said:

A touch of magic in snowfall brings us all to our outdoor boards and clothes - here in the south-west of Cornwall snow is a rare treat but love to remember the Cotswold days when even tall hedgerows were covered in fairyland-gems every year. A lovely acrostic dear Brian and wishing you loads of snowy fun.
