I Am Anaya Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Remember The Holderness Family during Covid?  Below’s a youtube video called “Baby Just Go Outside”

A Christmas Table Spread

A Christmas Table Spread

The table spread appears Christmassy
I’ve been working tirelessly, busy as a bee
My market list consists of garlic garlands and saffron
Other wild spices and cream for flan
Alaskan salmon, cranberry for ruby glaze
Fried zucchini and tangerine yams ablaze.
We start with specialty coffee and warm pineapple tamale’s
Displayed are red berries and shiny evergreen-leaf holly’s
Silver bells, gifts and holiday cards,
lit candles and gold ribbon by the yards.
Soon we’ll gather with our family and friends
And if necessary, we’ll make amends
Although it’s not a white Christmas
I know it’s genuinely spirited alas—
when the children laugh and run
I did the math, we’re all just having fun. 

Wishing all…
Christmas Cheers and Happy New Year!

I Am Anaya

Merry Christmas!...ab I Am Anaya December 27, 2025 at 1:43 PM Anselmo, I'd like to add that I've been thinking about you lately & your last posts, especially your commentaries around the time we lost our poet friend Lewis Milton Hankins. God bless him. You were there, as I was, his last poems, informing us that he would be going away to his favorite place, Mexico! Vallarta in fact. Remember? I'm going to post poems in memory of Milton, if you would like to contribute a tribute in his honor. Stay safe on your journey out at sea poet! Ahoy matie I Am Anaya December 26, 2025 at 11:49 AM Anselmo, a very Merry Christmas time to you! Welcome back poet! How are the high seas treating you? Delighted you enjoyed as I delight in your poeyry. Xhugs~ Anaya
