Parols
wrapped in gold ,
adorn a church
like tiaras forming
Starlight
Blessings
flame lanterns,
kindling year's dreams
as Manger Babe ushers
Christmas!

alone
in the woods
solace they found
within each others arms
creepers

Theme: Holidays

Baby
Bird wiggles
Upon concrete
Downy feathers, weak feet
Death waits
Heart’s Choice
Caged love’s
opened door
invisible
bonds that hold you within
engaged
Freedom
in heart’s grasp
compulsory
need to be loved in turn
entraps
Released,
loving self
empowering
the heart that lives within
set free

Away
From sunshine
And scorching sand
Thirsty; seeking refuge
From heat
Flying
In earnest
To mountain slopes
In green; breathing the cool
Fresh air

Placed: 2nd
Tranquil
holidays
Avoiding stress
while pocketbooks are stretched
Desired
Lost are
the reasons
Gifting frenzies
trying to top last year
Engorged
