At Christmas time I have NO tree.
NO colored lights are lit by me.
But, when mailbox I open,
I’m especially hopin’.......
that cards from a few..... good friends I’ll see.
Cards often have small pieces of art,
even, at times, thoughts from the heart
of some member of the cast.....
of the addressee’s own past,
keeping them linked...... though they’re apart.

I liked your poem “Christmas cards” - vestiges of the past. By the way, in the moment of sadness, the most valuable works are born. And it's also good to have friends who will support you in trouble. Be happy,
Hi Bri, I thought this a delightful piece with a lovely lilting flow. I think the positive expectation is lovely and it's the perfect length..not too long that it losses impact and not too short that it doesn't express the writers thoughts. Overall an enjoyable read Bri! Lodigiana
I believe that Christmas cards have some special charm, even though sending them now has almost gone out of vogue! They remind us of good old times! ! The cards bearing beautiful messages and pictures are far more appealing than the stereo typed email greetings! ! Interesting write! !
The note referring your Christmas Cards grabbed my heart string, pulling me to the store to buy cards for family, friends and a couple foes.Cards or just a note can mends relationships and redemptive as well! Happy holiday to a retired government worker from another who retired from Social Security Adm, in 1999.
Liked it, sadly my poem about Xmas cards funnily enough entitled 'Cards' is a tad more jaundiced when compared to yours BB : O)

Thanks for this poem of the heart and seasonal plug for postal services. it's true that handwritten cards mean far more than e-greetings. But I'm all for a few lights and a tree, too.
