Wonderful rich poem. The images are so strong and vibrant. Thank you.
Wouldn't this poem make a wonderful painting on canvas? The mental painting is rich and safe and warm, feasting on Christmas treats and lavishing on the splendor of the night skies.
The last stanza is poignant, compelling one to think!
Most of the poems I searched were either negative or archaic, except for that one fresh off the pen.
As for all the negative January poems, those dour poets are weaklings.
