Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Season of Joy

Like peppermint canes, the icicles twist
Red and white lines wrapped in frosty mist

Sleigh-bells ring out o'er snow-covered field
Songs and laughter to hugs and kisses yield

Breathe deep the pure air, this season of joy
Every heart transformed to tender girl or sweet boy

The tree's all decked out; the mistletoe's hung
Hallowed carols be sung ~ every land, every tongue

Connie Marcum Wong November 16, 2019 at 8:57 PM I LOVE THIS! It has such a global feel to it Gershon. Your ending even left me a bit weepy eyed. I am putting this gem into my Faves! I can't wait for Christmas to arrive, my granddaughters are flying over to see us. xxoo Gershon Wolf November 16, 2019 at 9:47 PM Connie, your enthusiastic comment has simply made my evening! Season's best. Cheers, Gershon

Caren Krutsinger November 15, 2019 at 1:47 PM What a wonderful tribute to the season that is "right around the corner"! Gershon Wolf November 15, 2019 at 3:28 PM Yup, 2020's almost here (too). Hope my vision is better this year. LOL. Thanks, Caren! ~ gw

Chris Green November 15, 2019 at 7:42 AM The season is definitely upon us and your beautiful poem is my first gift to unwrap. Nice one my friend. Gershon Wolf November 15, 2019 at 3:25 PM So kind of you to give me such a heartfelt (surprise) gift-comment! Thanks, ~ Wolfman

Brenda Chiri November 15, 2019 at 2:11 AM Ahh Gershon I wish I could write winter poetry! I did a collab with Chris green last year and I think that's the only one I've done! I'm more of a bah hum bug type of person I guess!;/ but you have made me smile!:) Gershon Wolf November 15, 2019 at 3:23 PM You know, Brenda, this is the first time that I've ever been cheerful during snowy, icy weather... I made it my mission to enjoy all four seasons (even in Chicago! LOL). So, perhaps it can be done! Smiles, my friend! ~ gw

Hello There November 14, 2019 at 11:08 PM Love the mood you set here ~ ah, but to wrap ourselves in this this holiday season... and why not the whole year through!? "If I can see it, then I can do it / If I just believe it, there's nothing to it" (from I Believe I Can Fly song) A fave for me, Gershon :) Gershon Wolf November 15, 2019 at 3:20 PM Thanks for such a creative, poetic comment, H.T. A joy to read! I suppose a 'trite answer' to your question might be that if the whole year were like the holidays, then the holidays wouldn't be special, and the year wouldn't be 'the year.' Season's best to you, Gershon

Line Gauthier November 14, 2019 at 10:21 PM What a delightful picture of joy you painted, Gershon. Love it. Gershon Wolf November 15, 2019 at 3:17 PM Just call me P.P. (Pablo Picasso, of course). LOL. Thank you so much for the encouragement, Line! Season's best! ~ Gershon
