Darlene De Beaulieu Poet Free verse

Decorating the Home For Christmas

On the fireplace floor spread
One wooden tree Santa and deer
The top of the mantel stands
Four nutcrackers one very tall
Two are the same height short
Lights placed on the bottom lit4e

A Christmas tree decorated 
From top to bottom 
With lights red and white
then red and green balls
Two red bids are hung
Followed by white beads
        strung
Then the gnome is placed on 
        top
