sparkle of bright lights
nutmeg and spice fill the air
a taste of fine wine
a golden glow doesn’t dull
but paints the memory sharp

This was written for Colleen’s poetry challenge. Today we were supposed to write on the theme of “Festive”. Going through my photos, I saw this one of a bottle of wine I have had for 20 years that helped make last Christmas festive, despite it being a lock-down holiday ;)

Yes! This is the “festive” imagery I’d hoped for. Sometimes its those small things like the smells and tastes that define this special time of year. <3

Ha, ha! Well, I wish I could drink wine, but alas, that creature comfort is out of my reach for health issues. But, I sure enjoy everyone else having a glass. <3
