A Swirling Leaf
Like a Christmas merry-go-round
this little red and green leaf
swirled 'round and 'round
in a tiny puddle in the wind.
It reminded me of holiday cookies
sand being the sugar sprinkled
upon it so sparkly red and green
that I could almost taste it.
I had a red and green parrot once
he was my holiday gift all year
singing loud Christmas carols
of his own spectacular making.
He would have loved those cookies.
