  IN REFLECTING - A FOLD

Yet still i recall in reflecting,

As if at logger heads thunder clapped  

November streaked in lightning,

Despite her torrid weather,

I still do recall in reflecting,

Days of - will this never cease?

Still, trees are lit now and blinking,

The grinch, maybe was behind it all, 

With all his mischief making, 

Hope shines through in the end,

As still i recall in reflecting.

BANG Quadrille

Christmas bells chime for me

Golden on my Christmas tree

With a ho ho ho and he he he

A holiday season oh so merry


Santa will drop by with a bang


Who will set the corn a-popping

Making loud sounds in the kitchen

                        With
                        baubles
                         beads and 
                      tinsel, our tree
                     of my childhood
                      days, sparkled and
                    glowed through angel
                   hair, everything factory
                       made.
                            

   A
 bit of
   angel hair
     adds to a tree
      a magical touch 
       only a child can see,
       like spider web; elegant,
       diaphanous and whimsical
       fa la la la la, la la la la, fine,
      fa la la la la, a delicate lace
   angel  
 hair

THERE MUST BE THREE
"I fell off my horse."  "You fell off your horse! Who does that at your age and with your experience. You should be accustomed to your horse, so much so you should be able to gallop through open fields or tree thronged forest with your eyes closed. So how about the camel. Would you be able to make the ride through the desert to adore the divine baby?"  He didn't answer his wife the queen, instead  he murmured to himself: You drew stars.

Around my scars the skin is still swollen and is looking bluish. Silently, he pondered, those other two magi  cannot make me look bad. I have to heal. And heal quickly.

 Turkey the bird of Thanksgiving

After the the family praying

On the table stuffed and ready

Is thinly sliced like Christmas ham

Placed on the plates for all to nam

But some folks have left already

Why the swift departure of them

Wanting to leave the table ahem

Maybe  traffic is insteady
