Wet Leaves

The leaves lie, stuck and slippery;
     those in the air, dripping and clinging.
Shivering, as the brisk wind blows;
      birds seem to be sleeping sans singing.
Decked pine, in the window, lit, adorned;
      light angel above the trimming.

Nice imagery, and contrast between the inside and outside trees.

It sounds like inside the house is more comforting than outside. I agree. At a ski resort, I discovered that drinking cocoa and watching others ski was more to my liking. Have a Merry Christmas.

An outstanding Sijo. Califonia is wonderfully green year round…I dont miss the colored leaces, then the bare trees. But the Christmas trees are here and the spirit of love, just as is in all Christian nations across the world. Pangie
