L Milton Hankins Poet Quintain (English)

Carolers

Lacy snow crystals like a cozy duvet
Cover the ground in winter splendor,
I hear the Christmas carols as they play
On my front lawn, carolers; I will render
Hot chocolate from a local vendor.

Voodoo Child December 11, 2021 at 2:56 AM I’m a wassailer from way back but my wassailing days are over. No one ever offered me hot chocolate but I’ve had many a shot and many a beer. This takes me back. L Milton Hankins December 11, 2021 at 8:00 AM Thanks so much, Voodoo Child. Give it a go this season. The hot chocolate alone is worth it!
