Stephen Parker Poet Couplet

Christmas Homily

Lights
Crackling embers serenade the hearth
Twinkling lights symphony to the heart

   Tree
Shapely Tree signifies an organic symmetry
Burnished decorations denote a cultivated empathy

   Wreaths
Embezzled twines commemorate primitive instincts
Embossed twigs celebrate a nurtured path

    Spirits   
Crystal glasses shelter our warmth
Spiced brandy shivers our senses

   Carols
Yule tide carols enshrine distant refrains
Merry melodies embrace colloquial strains

   Presents
Carefully wrapped gifts conceal our joy
Materialistic desires bare our soul

  Festive Clothing
Colorful pastels cloak bright spirits
Embossed emblems shroud jaundiced minds
