Boldly boasting ballads.
Can't construct cinquain,
Ditto deconstructing didactic.

Easy efforts elevate essentially.
Fabulous frippery, fun, fauxmance.
Giving gifts ,gaiety, glory.
Hiding hyperbole ,hailing honesty.

I ignore idiosincricy.
Jubilant jeweled jots.

Nature Strives to be beautiful
Morphing myriad, earthly hues
from macrocosmic frippery.

Hugs for you
And hugs for me
Hugged is what
I want to be.

Hug a slug
All slippery
Sliming up
Your frippery.

Pseudo piece of art dredging old memories;
Where I hang now, a fine authentic painting—

Ah
Autumn
icy wisps
curling, twisting
seek gnarly branches 
impatient winds flurry
brown, red, yellow leaves gusting

stark proud beauty, naked, unadorned

It's Christmas time so lets all pray for peace
Families together and all wars to cease
Light your candles for loved ones up above
And share happiness...
