Give for Sunday Scribblings

Give

We made a fire tonight,
flames sunsetting the night.
Friends joined us
with glasses of wine

conversation and laughter.
Micheline gave us music
with her melodious
French accent.

Ralph entertained
by stringing Christmas
lights. Donna
regaled us with

stories of her winter.
Words flew back and forth.
They gave us their lives,
We gave them ours.

    I really liked this. :-)

    Particularly loved the line. . . "flames sunsetting the night."

    This was like one of our Juhannus (Midsummer) parties which have just taken place. Fun, frolics and friendship. Lovely

    rarely do I think of casual party conversation as giving. But it is because we offer (usually) the best of ourselves...whether the talent is jokes/humor, or music, or story.
