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
--John Daleiden, Avondale, AZ

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
--Quentin Clingerman; USA

Echoes of evergreens
Circling Christmas day
Carols of God

Have a merry Christmas!

unravelling
fairy lights with my son

the cat plays
in the cardboard box

Awaking on Christmas
Remember why He came here
Celebrate His birth
