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

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

SUN FIELDS

 They set out early to harvest sunfruit

Earthlings thought the sun was a star

Those earthlings their thoughts are so cute

 Woman carry a large earthen jar

For the radiant fields are ripe and a-plenty

 PARANG AGAIN

To wit and with humour plenty,

The bard pens his parang merry,

A song of Christmas,

Caribbean borne, alas

No snow,

But angels a plenty show,

Us joy with their parang songs.

Adore him,

Gift him,

Love is borne again,

Merry the time again.
