Notes About The Poem

Fidgit Christmas Jitters

Fidgit Christmas Jitters

I want to write about Christmas cookies, 
Angels that hang on the tree, 
and look at me…
then smile.

I want to write about Mistletoe, 
and first kisses,
red cheeks,
red noses, 
and roses. 

I want to share the feeling that I get, 
when I am waiting for his call, 
from overseas. 
When I can not think fast enough, 
to say all that I want too, 
all that I need too, 
when I can not think at all, 
just to hear his voice. 

I need to write my words down,
before the telephone rings. 
I need to hold them tight to the paper, 
and make them behave…
The only naughty list I want to be on…
is his… 
for all the romantic, 
sexy words, 
I plan to whisper and recite, 
on time…
just right.

I want to celebrate the day, 
in every way…
He is alive somewhere, 
I can never be, 
but his heart…
it is right here, 
home, 
with me.

"I need to write my words down, before the telephone rings. I need to hold them tight to the paper, and make them behave…" - I love how you went from anxious Christmas cookies and feelings to sheer naughtiness! Bravo Ann. Bravo!
