Hello blog friends! It's Tanka Tuesday and author Colleen Chesebro invites poets to consider the holidays through our verse as we collectively move deep into winter. Days are shorter, the winds colder, but doesn't excitement warm our hearts?
My poem is about gratitude - for great loves, for friends unseen, for the glimmers of hope unexpected. And I wish you a very happy week.

Aww, sweet Christmas poem.:-) When I was 9 years old, I listened to "Little Drummer Boy" for the first time. I mean LISTENED, like to the lyrics and everything. I cried. Now every time I hear that song I start crying!
