Heavenly Visitor

(Poetry Form: Villonnet) An angel decorates our great-room wall, her dress made from a mop-head’s cotton strings adorned with holly berries, flanked by leaves, a hand-made gift from one I scant recall. She holds a horn but never sounds a call, to herald one who came so long ago. Her hair hangs loose with spiral frizzy curls. An angel decorates our great room wall. At times she glows with power to enthrall while sainted face displays a gentle smile and braided arms are folded ‘neath her chin; A hand-made gift from one I scant recall. An angel decorates our great room wall. On Christmas day she watches over all, a hand-made gift from one I scant recall.
