Kim Rodrigues Poet Verse

Holiday Branch

A branch awaits the carolling.
The choir, each limb afire with song.
The cold and bare kindled with snow.
   A branch awaits.

A branch awaits the spring of feet -
the twang of movement, soft or strong.
The strum of warmth, the beat of chirps -
   a branch awaits.

A branch awaits the tango’s churl -
the gathering of more than one.
Will there be tolerance or not?
   A branch awaits

the carolling, the spring of feet,
the gathering of more than one.
Narrow or wide,
   a branch awaits.

Linda Alice Fowler December 19, 2022 at 5:44 PM I was writing about carolers last week. We used to go door-to-door caroling but that tradition has sadly been lost in my part of the world. Lovely write Kim! :) Kim Rodrigues December 19, 2022 at 6:47 PM Yes, it is sad.
