"When What To My Wondering Eyes Should Appear...."

...but miniature Carolers! Yes, apparently I've become "that" person to the good folks of the local church - the widow down the street, the old lady who took care of another old lady who died. Whatever the reason, it was a delight last night to open the door to these munchkins singing, "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer," each facing lighting up on the asides of  'like a lightbulb'  (please note the shy nose poking out of the red and black parka, lower right).

I'd like to thank all the people who commented on my last tiny poem and the poetry link I put up. I've been contacted to have one of my poems published by an online poetry site and they wanted a link to my other poems, hence, the list. I appreciate your comments so much. That you would take the time to read any of my poems is a wonder to me - a Christmas Miracle. It makes my heart glow.
Happiness of the Season to you all!

  1. I hope you were ready for the carols, I always keep lots of fruit anyways.It is a lost act of kindness, and a joy that you were rewarded with their compassion.My neighbor was upset her throat was sore last week, and cancelled out to join her group.She is 75 but loves her hymns and song. I tease her when she has a friend over to sing, that I was almost ready to call 911 for all the loud noise.

  3. It's nice to know people are thinking of you, isn't it? I also know you get back what you put out, and you've sung WAAAAy more than your share of carols to others, who were touched by your thoughtfulness. I'm also pleased that I know a famous poet now. Congratulations. Teach me.

  12. I don't think I've ever had carolers visit!
    I love that ornament picture too, It really makes me smile. Maybe I'll print it out and hang it on my tree!
    Wouldn't you like to be festooning a tree in Arizona?
    Love and best wishes, Kass!
