Rhonda Johnson-Saunders Poet Quintain (English)

December Magic

December eve wakes for me. Enamored by
a million stars in a widening sky, it shines down
on a frigid desert floor, and I, in wonder, spy
beauty of a  Joshua tree. The fire, sparkling like a gown, 
dances on branches lifted in prayer of silver crown.
