Dear December - Collab With Jo

Option 10 given by Jo. Stanza 1 is hers. Dear December Soft snow swirls down as cold breeze blows A snow-white crown covers the earth Life is in hibernating throes Let’s stay inside near the warm hearth We’ll cuddle here as night comes on And snow keeps blanketing the lawn Beside the fire – just me and you We have the picture perfect view! We listen to some sweet songs of this season’s meaning, which is love Nearby our fragrant Christmas tree I am so happy you’re with me Completed April 3, 2023 Rhyme scheme abab/cdcd/efef in 8-syllable lines Sponsor: Joanna Daniel

What lovely serenity your collaboration with Jo conveys Andera - nighttime snowfall, Christmas and cuddling!!! A beautiful scene, indeed! Congratulations on your win. Blessings! When I first read this gem I can't believe I missed your rhyme scheme. I would have sent you a soupmail! You have have helped me so many times!!! Sigh :( I am sorry I missed the chance to help you! But, I am glad to see your collaboration on the winners list!!! Blessings!

Sometimes I get so caught up in the metrics of a poem I miss a requirement. I know exactly how you feel. And as I said before, I am always so grateful when you let me know I have missed something! Blessings my friend!
