Thanksgiving Through...

A red, orange, brown fuss
in autumn once more
as fog comes upon us 
Halloween ghouls to the door

The trees turning yellows
rains tumult and pour
thunder bellows, 
winds blow cold with a roar

and puddles they widen 
until they're almost a lake
then out we need go 
for the leaves we must rake

So we dig out our gloves
and we wrap round our scarfs
Then we shop for our loves,
friends and then some other halves

For Christmas  approaches
but fireworks come first
as Guy Fawkes encroaches
kids pennies do thirst

Then it's time for the lights
as the children do sing
And Santa's nearly in sight
while the church bells do ring

Then Jesus Christ's birth
we will try to remember
the meaning of 'worth'
on 25th of December.

Awesomely beautiful poem Anna. Christmas is representative of Christ's birthday, altho the date may be wrong. No matter, my Savior is honored at any rate. Your poem is flowing in an effective manner, like this year itself. It seems that 2009 just flew by. Smile. Sincerely, Love, Moses

Love the way you take us from Halloween through Christmas in this delightful rhyme, Anna-Marie! I felt like I was marching right through the entire holiday season with you as my guide. Great work! Love, carolyn
