Holiday Blessings #Etheree

Published on by balroop2013

True
moments
of joyous
celebrations
are the ones that bring
beautiful melodies
of sweet songs, brimming with love
wrapped with emotional delight;
magnificent gifts seem lusterless
in the gathering of a family.


Holiday blessings bring us together
Christmas tree shines brighter with laughter 
that resounds around the fireplace
to warm it with festive cheer
song of life sounds dearer,
lilting with a new
dawn to dispel
darkness and
welcome  
light.

This week’s double Etheree is inspired from Colleen Chesebro’s Weekly Poetry Challenge #poet’s choice (with a twist.) Thank you for the inspiration to try new forms, Colleen.

      1. Etheree is new to me, Balroop, so maybe I’ll try it sometime, and for this being your first time, you did a wonderful job. 🙂 Yes, free verse flows naturally. 🙂

  6. Beautiful poem, Balroop. I do love the tree upside down shape.
    The message that the warmth and togetherness means more than gifts is true…..children might not agree.:)
    altogether I also love Christmas and the song and cheer it brings. 🌲💕.
