Carols By The Fire (Tanka)

We Drink Because We’re Poets –  We Drink Inspiration –  Poetry Prompt #006

Carols by the fire

Electric Yule log ablaze

Singing out of tune

Like the late great Lawrence Welk

We’re drunk on tiny bubbles

    Tiny bubbles
    In my wine
    Makes me happy
    Makes me feel fine!

    Your last line caused me to have a flashback of basic training. :/

    Good stuff, Dom.

      Thanks Sahm, I not really sure why I came up with the last two lines, but I did, this reminded me of my grandparents.

      Yes it has, it always seemed my grandparents could find him on TV no matter what time it was. :)

      We celebrate Christmas, but I am not much of a party person these days. It will just be my wife and 3 children this year and that is all I need. Merry Christmas to you my friend.

    I can identify with the singing Dom, Merry Christmas!

      I can say without a doubt that you don’t want to here us sing Christmas carols, we can’t hold a note. Merry Christmas Gilly.
