Passing Innocence

As I remember some other Christmas, tonight frosted lips ache for us by the hearth, where you still melt upon my heart — how you entered my lifetime with childhood love, Winter's first ~ verses in aged kindling ...how the staid fire's long

this is a really lovely example of diminished hexaverse; it's not always easy to make them flow well, but you are an accomplished writer in all forms..i see it was potd so congrats on that (and thanks for your comments on my work, much appreciated)

' you still melt upon my heart. ' That's so romantic. So many emotions linger, this time of year. Your thoughts hold tenderness, yet beauty and romance. A soft ache as well. Congratulations Paige, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy
