Christmas Queen

A Christmas queen,
Dressed red and green
Beauty and grace,
Garnished in lace
Such a grand dame,
Poinsettia's her name.

Lisa Ricci Date: 1/14/2024 6:41:00 AM Good Mr. Mr. Daniel. Hi. A belated Christmas Wishes to you and a belated Happy New Year Too. Yes, the poinsettia is the flower and plant of the season. Both the read and white are lovely as is your entry. The rhyme was never forced and you wrote with beauty and grace just at the poinsettia herself. May 2024 bring all things good for you. Peace and Blessings now and always. Have a beautiful morning and day. (smile) Login to Reply
