About This Poem

Cool Blue

Frosted white branches

   garlanded in silver and

       d r i p p i n g   i c i c l e s. . . . 

            Crystalline lights are turned on.

                  My new tree shimmers cool blue.


(only new one not used in a Dec. contest yet)

    It's definitely a Christmas wonderland with your cool blue tree in the background! Merry Christmas to you, Andrea! Thanks for your comments throughout the year. Your kindness has been greatly appreciated. I caught a bad cold three weeks after Sandy hit New York City. I am recovering and feeling better now. Best wishes and God bless you. Peace and Love, Andrew.

    Hi Andrea - This poem is a real tree-t! (Sorry, could not help myself.) I really do like this. Especially like the image of cool blue and those dripping icicles. - Hope your holidays are full of love and happiness! Gail

    Lovely Tanka, one of my favourite forms, beautiful picture it paints ( I think even if Lisa tells the young ones who she is they won`t have a clue, but Jonathan and Scuben both know who she is)

    ooh - i love a blue tree! if i had a christmas tree, that's how i'd decorate it, too. wonderfully descriptive poem! (btw, i liked daniel day lewis in "lincoln" much more than i liked the movie overall, so i agree with you).

    Very descriptive and expressive work..I can almost see that tree from Georgia..I know that it is pretty..I hope to select one and get it up this week end..Reads like winning material..Thanks for stopping by my work " Miles And Miles"...My aim was to write a Tanka for Susan's contest while on the way to Tifton, Ga. yesterday to get Cody for Christmas break..However, I ended up having to drive for Tommy woke up with his back in spasm..He apparently did something to it in his sleep..Sara
