true love—
the enfolding embrace
of man, earth, and air
--John Daleiden, Avondale, AZ

mistletoe
upon every door...
love in the air
--Keith Simmonds; TT

children laughing,
their stockings overflowing--
an empty saucer

Christmas morning...
children rushing under
the Christmas tree
--Keith Simmonds; TT

Partridge peers around
A light snow covers the ground
No pears on the tree
