December
Twelfth month, last page
Sagittarius, Capricorn
Signs, influences, wonders
An end, soon a new beginning
Short days, long nights
Out my window, naked trees
dancing with flirting snowflakes
Lone whitetail deer
Snow-covered forest path
Standing still
All about, winter’s cold breath
Colorful wrapping papers, silky bows
Red and green greeting cards
Sweet-smelling evergreen
Christmas, here soon
December comes again

Hayden: Thank you. Good having you back. Yes indeed, like winter in Michigan. Where in Michigan?
lovely. reminds me of childhood christmas’ in Michigan
Kai: Thank you. I am glad you found coziness in this poem.
Thanks Aurora. Glad you enjoyed it. I loved Christmas as a young boy. Still do, but not with quite the intensity as when I was a child. It’s magical…because of Christ’s birth and all that attaches to that new beginning, but also because of all we’ve attached to that most special holiday in the way of tradition, family, friends, celebration, giving, and also receiving.
