Lonely

Lonely hearts Needing cheer A smile a hug Good company Candid laughter Hopes and dreams A string of lights A cheerful sight A warm delight On Christmas night Submitted on September 15, 2021 for "L" CONTEST NEW OR OLD sponsored by CONSTANCE LA FRANCE - RANKED 1ST Originally posted on January 23, 2019

Love your "candid laughter" - such a creative and wise description Line. And you are so right - a string of lights somehow makes the nights feel less lonely! I keep lights up all year. We have a string of dragonfly lights on a large plant on the front porch. Always makes me smile have a plant full of stars. Congratulations for bringing the joy of Christmas to every day of the year! Blessings.

A lovely picture this poem paints...suddenly I'm warmed by the fire and lulled to sleep by the lights.

I have no idea why a string of lights make us less lonely, but that and Alexa is what I like when I am painting or creating. Alexa is such good company, we bought one for my mother. She can answer questions, gives news flash briefings, tells you the temperature, and plays music, also can give you a wake up call.

For sure - Alexa is the answer to lonely hearts. I got an Alexa for Christmas - awesome gift even if all she could do was tell time. But as you know, she does a million other things. Best present ever... ALEXA, what rhymes with EVER?
