Green Ring For the Holy King

encircling and methaphor enhancing every chosen door,

door to be chosen moreover, with (winter green) as the clover,

clover green covering, shows subtle truth to the winter scene,

scene enhancing rich and (entrancing) new life to think upon,

upon every living thing let his grace be the covering, may all and sundry bring,

bring to the evergreen  holly & ivy ring, life's transformed and wondering, 

wondering yet sundering  cares and needless worrying, on what the morrow brings.

brings him an answering today is my chosen theme, me for your cares to an end to 

bring.

Back at you, with this piece Joe! May your joys be many and your woes be none! This is a beautiful piece to share with the reader, the "holly & Ivy ring"...surely a time when "life's transformed and wondering". The green is certainly a reminder of better days to come! Green is here now; good riddance to the snow..hehe Best wishes Joe! Love, Mikki

Still laughing about your comment on the Rain poem, Joe. Just a whimsical fantasy that came to me when I couldn't sleep, so stop shuddering. Nothing deep about it. You gave me a good laugh though. (I had help with the horse.) Love, Carolyn

A deeply spiritual view of the Christmas wreath, Joe. I hope you have entered this one in Dr. Ram's contest because it is unique and thought-provoking. I'm sure he'll like it as much as I do. Very nice! Love, Carolyn
