Fir Tree Forest

Fir tree forests surround us, Tonight the snow falls, All around us, Tall and true stands Clause, His beard and red jacket, Contrasting the white sheet pouring down around us, On this snowy Christmas Eve, Laughs and ho ho ho’s echo out, Ringing Fir trees sing aloud, Cheer and happiness abound, Santa Clause has completed…

Sticky Wishes

The wish that stuck, hard against the cake, stuck to sweet plate, spooned by fork, cut with knife, flayed about by, great white chompers, molars and teeth, grinding it to a pulp, to wash and fizzle, until next year, when again I try to catch the wish.

Ghosts

Witness the white sheet floating by, Signifying the start of this Hallowed Eve, Carmel apple smells, And trick or treat shouts, Echo through the valley, As white sheets float by.
