Silent beauty, Taenaris catops;
Do you sleep in the day like an owl ?
For only a short while your life hops,
Almost one third of a  year is enough.
Silky to the touch Taenaris catops,
Forest and marshes you inhabit,
For those mimicking eyes to pop.
Wouldn't you prefer meadow flowers?
Or sampling farmer's crops?
Or ravaging through farmyard sops?
Guess you are just Taenaris catops.

 Rain and rain and more rain. To round off The Rainy Season, to add a contrast background to Caribbean Christmas trees sparkling and blinking, indoors and outdoors.

The choice to be festive like the Christmas trees transfering your hope into the radiance of lights, or go for the gloom the misty grey clouded mornings, seeping depressed days into the soul.

rainy season ending

with 9misty morning clouds -

Christmas trees blinking

  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

For the prompt, MTB: An Etheree Tree
after posting, days later the idea came to me to put the words of the poem on a photo of a tree, here it is on the tree

                        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
