Festive VerseHoliday Cheer
For the Holiday Reflections in Verse Challenge
Deck the Norway Spruce with frosted baubles, as they catch the lights;
Our minds fixed on festivity when the carols sing low;
What a white world outside, snow flake mid flight;
Hot chocolate in hand where the marshmallows float.
*
There are times near the screen where we live through someone’s eyes,
A lesson in disguise willing us to be the best we can;
We fall in love with time and the gifts we want to buy;
Our tongue relates to taste, and in our minds, our speech, gives pran.
*
The eggnog: the turkey, the tasty Christmas pudding!
The sweat: the tears, the rush to make things perfect;
But in times of gaiety, poinsettia blush in painting;
A weather that forms its beauty, green to red, there’s no light so we reflect.
*
Give back to the beauty of the changing season,
Gifts and cheer never looked for a reason.
A/N: Thank you so much for giving me both your time and attention, it is worth far more than rubies 🙏♥️❄️🌲🎅🤶
