    The perfect holiday Tanka. Remember, we are to use synonyms and not the prompt words. โค

      Ah, but the prompt word in this case will suffer no synonym, as โ€œSilver Bellsโ€ is a Christmas classic not to be revised. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    This is deeply spiritual, Frank. The picture of the birches makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time. (I wrote a poem a short time ago that was connected to the same song; In the City. It’s a fav – the song, not my poem. haha!)
