Fa La La La La!

Gold finches light up
the chokecherry tree’s crown like
yellow Christmas bulbs.

Oh! Christmas Tree

Little pine tree from
last December, standing on
deck–still going strong!

Greetings

Advent is finished;
My wish for all of you is
The joy of Christmas.

n.b. However you celebrate, or whatever your beliefs, I sincerely hope you have a wonderful holiday season.

Christmas Rush

Buzzing round today;
my dead father would have said,
“like a blue-arsed fly”.

Signs I Should Not Go Christmas Shopping

-no deodorant
-shopping bags in other car
-gears on mine are stuffed

-can’t find my ear-muffs
-sleet is sheeting down-it’s wet!
-I hate that Walmart

-wonky shopping carts
-tree still wants decorating
-there’s three more days yet.
