I'm so sorry that your dear wife is no longer here Willie, I'm one of the fortunate ones whose wife is indeed here with me on this Christmas period. Beautifully written my friend. Merry Christmas and the blessings of God in Christ Jesus be with you at this time, well done, blessings Roy

This is a great happy little poem, Willie.
My only negative comment would be the fourth stanza being only 3 lines tends to throw a spanner in the meter of the piece.
However, I am not pedantic enough to downgrade the rating because of this. (Especially at Christmas) It should be a simple correction if you choose to make it.

Your last stanza summed up the struggle so many of us face as we age.... having to celebrate the holidays without the ones we love. The romantic sleigh ride sounds so beautiful, yet without that special someone it loses it's glimmer. Well done!
Smiles, Carol

Oh, but one can still dream. This sounds like a wonderful way to spend time together on a brisk winter day. I'm sure you have sweet memories of your soul mate that make you smile and keep you warm at heart. Thank you for sharing this lovely poem.

What a charming, imaginary sleigh ride, Willie, with your loved one! Your rhyming verse oozes romance and longing and I love the contrasting and tactile warmth of the blanket against the freeze of the temperature. You certainly know how to paint a picture that touches the reader and I'm so sorry it can't be translated into reality. Warm wishes, Debbie

This poem, Sleigh Ride, builds up the many fun and pleasant aspects of the sleigh ride which, unfortunately, as revealed in the last stanza, is not one that will be made in the flesh. Perhaps, in the eternity that follows, the lovers will ride again.

This is a very romantic poem, and I loved reading until the final stanza. Yes, it wouldn't as much fun without your love by your side. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
