A joyous time it was when I was young. Despite the chill, to the wind my cares were flung in winter’s world of trees with garlands hung and carols brightly sung when the bells were rung!

It already lost the contest, BL, but maybe another judge will appreciate it more!

great shape, and I love the image of carol singers in the snow (or at least I see snow). Nicely penned.

I liked this poem - "a winter's world of trees" - my later father said "poetry teaches you how to feel". He was right. I had some more poems published in "Beyond Bree" and also in the Voice Israel newsletter for June. I am still doing ESL at the community college. I tire of it sometimes but as you know it makes you more Cosmopolitan. Peace & Love Matthew Anish
