a small memory
shriveled by time and distance
a sweet sugar plum

may your holiday
be filled with wonderful things
turned sweet memories
Merry Christmas!
Happy Holidays! Best wishes for
the New Year!

DeleteMemories are indeed sugar plums, sometimes unmagnified by distance, but sweet when savored for what they are. Such simplicity in the verse, but broad in conception.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your words.

DeleteGorgeous image and verse. I must say -- I've never had sugar plum. I just looked them up. They DO sound delicious. Damn, what I have missed out on. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteNever too late to have a sugar plum..or two.. :-)
DeleteThank you, Sabio.
Oh, this has special meaning for me and if one is interested can find my poem about a favorite Christmas memory on my blog posted more than a year ago....my grandfather's nickname for me was "Sugarplum"...thank you for the sweet reminder and Merry Christmas..
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your comment. I'll look for that poem on your blog.
