    Christmas Sonnet

    Christmas Eve nears once again,
    kitchen smells, soft and airy.
    Laughter once had caused the din,
    Granny's house, light and merry.

    Carols and new fallen snow,
    games, toys, and merriment.
    Santa comes and children glow...
    sticky hands of peppermint.

    Kids sat 'round impatiently,
    the sack was full of wonder.
    Tots just gazed so skeptically,
    awaiting gifts in number.

    That old house, a memory...
    Lounging in sweet reverie.

    thank you. I always thought it didn't say quite enough to do so, glad to hear that it does evoke nice memories in the sonnet.

    Thank you so much! It was written about my own Grandmother's house at christmas. I wanted to say so much more, but there are defined rules in writing a sonnet. Glad it you liked it :)

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
