a calm blue light through someone's window the merriment of holidays over new year reverie already in the past discarded christmas trees lining sidewalks as snowploughs break a foggy midnight silence Published in my 24-page photo/anthology ~RANDOM MUSINGS VOL.1~ 2020 AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Posted on December 14, 2018

Line, great write, you truly captured the after of Christmas, all the pretty wrappings discarded, skeleton trees on the curbs, well done ~

Your four luminous lines make me see hear and feel. That is the sign of an effective writer. I am still jingling at the thought of Xmas, but I must admit I feel relief when its over, Merry Christmas dear Line, love xo

Thank you so much, Pixie. Indeed Christmas is always a stressful time for so many reasons... hopefully the joy balances it out.

It's crazy how time flies, especially that we have less and less energy as we age and have to learn to slow down.

THIS I've seen and can relate to. The sadness and desolation of the aftermath of the holidays is well-captured. Nicely done, Line! Season's best, Gershon

Oh I hate to see the trees discarded; some folks plant them and have a lovely space around their homes. Oh well, at least no snow right now. A vivid post holiday season poem.

It really makes me feel sad when I see the once vibrant decorated trees discarded and lying on their side as they look so forlorn. Perfect title for this poem that brings reality to light Line. Happy Holidays! : ) xxoo

Absolutely, these beautiful trees are so underused... it's little consolation but they are thankfully recycled.
