The Christmas Spirit

The Christmas spirit can be heard. Heard in sounds like choirs singing, Singing carols and heard in bells, Bells gaily ring-a-linging. Ring-a-linging bells and seeing Seeing lights brightly gleaming, Gleaming snowfall and small children, Children with faces beaming! Beaming, yes, and there is smelling. Smelling pine cones and roasting - Roasting chestnuts; drinking cider Cider for Yuletide toasting. Toasting Christmas, also tasting! Tasting all the flavoring The flavoring of sweets and meats - Meats at feasts for savoring. Savoring, the spirit is felt Felt by loving and by letting- Letting senses wake to Christmas Christmas spirit try getting! Written 12/29/2015 for the Chain Verse 1 Poetry Contest of Edward Ebbs
