This morning I made a Christmas stocking filter and started by turning the neighbors’ security lights into stockings.
New Poem
Today’s prompt from dVerse Poets Pub is Quadrille #142. The quadrille is a poem of 44 words and Mish challenges us to put some tinsel in it. The only time I remember decorating with tinsel was the year I lived in Sweden. However, Mish provided other definitions of tinsel which look fun. I’m liking tinsel as a verb.
She Wants to Tinsel Everything
She wants to tinsel the world
put a silvery sheen on it
make it sparkle, but
not like he does
with false promises
denial and delusion
She want to emphasize
what is already there
with a thin, metallic shimmer
wrapped around
the branching minutiae
If you’ve enjoyed the photographs I’ve been taking, I’ve added some to my RedBubble store and I’m excited about the new products. The abstract bokeh really lends itself to product design. So fun. While you’re looking, please click the hearts to like the images on the RedBubble site. It will help my work get attention. Thank you.

I agree with Bjorn: your use of tinsel as a verb works so wonderfully, with the contrasts of brightness and guile made very clear.

Each glittering branch shines a little brighter – never the focus, but gleaming just a little more fondly under the light. Lovely.

There are differences between these two, but also similarities. Tinsel is a difficult thing to love, I find.

Great point of thought. The intent may be different, but the result. . . .

Love the way you used tinsel as a verb… and yes we do love our tinsel here in Sweden, especially today at the day of Sankta Lucia.

I enjoyed all of the Christmas traditions in Sweden. Tomten needs to bring more candy to my tree. 🎅🎄
