Outside with my water pail
stands a guilty looking snail,
and a half-eaten poinsettia.
You know, dear snail,
I'm going to get ya.

the poinsettia's blush,
December cold bites window glass~
red bracts on white snow
Poinsettia faerie with her glistening purple pink turquoise wings
sits unseen in the Christmas flower, spreading joy
in the spirit of Christmas
Pink Poinsettia
my favorite color
lifts my mood
with every holiday glance
.....For Andrea's Contest
Deep red star flower,
scarlet life blood atonement.
We beseech your heal.
red and evergreen
bushes proudly displayed, joy
marriage's first kiss
**I got married in December and the church was full of poinsettias....it was so beautiful.

I faced the dilemma of a pure vendetta,
I felt the retraction of sudden satisfaction-
Like the poisonous blade of a crimson poinsettia,
Please believe me… darkness holds attraction,
But nothing compares to your malignant reaction.

poised poinsettia
Pretty flowering plant
Often seen at Christmas,
Indigenous to Mexico
Now available at nurseries
Showy scarlet bracts,
Each surrounding yellow flowers
That require much attention
Throughout the season
In order to re-bloom
And delight next year.

And when the candles are lighted
And the balmy breeze blows
And when the stars are sighted
Where the river gently flows
And the red poinsettia kiss the eyes
And the holy carols are heard
As if angels were still in the skies
And shepherds still kept the herd
And when the season of Christmas
Come trolling from pagan lore
Loneliness make the heart sad, alas
And I miss you more and more.
The poinsettia shape reminds us of the Star of Bethlehem
Which led the wise men to a manger with gifts for Him,
And the brilliant red of the Christmas flower symbolizes
The shed blood of Jesus Christ which every Christian prizes
Reminding us that Jesus the Messiah’s birth, is the reason,
The red and green come to us during the Christmas season.

snow carpets hide greens
white hills and sky become one...
poinsettia peeks
midst gripping coldness
redeemed soul* seeks revival...
now fired-up by God**

*Lamentations 3:58 O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.
**Second stanza added on December 14, 2022
Bald eagles soared to climax
winds following suit
reaching Mother Moon’s orbit
pink-blue wings swirling in space
feathers reach essences dissolving
Love innocent endures —
Breastbones transmuted at
point of no return
we sailed into Void, fluid
zéro apogee in vastness
stoic points absent to
pierce poinsettia
throbbing Hearts
bleed red —

Silver Winner Poem
Allpoetry: Sept 26
Form : Brevity
Prompt : apogee
As we finish dressing the table, the room is dizzy with aromas
and the turkey teases with a golden, honey-like translucence.
Candles, nestled in poinsettia settings, provide a flickering, golden,
almost magical light that’s refracted in windows, crystal and white tablecloth.
I hear Leeza nearby, swinging the living room with laughter. Everyone is
giddy from drink, mouth watering hunger and near impossible expectations.
I wish you all a safe, Happy, Thanksgiving.
The poinsettia is such a magnificent plant
With bright red fronds, yellow-colored centers
Poinsettia trees growing tall like blazing towers
In Tanzania, we saw these gorgeous flowers.
I mentioned we pay a fortune for one blossom
And, I have never been able to keep one alive,
My guide said, “Here they are free! There, go
pick enough of them to fill a room, they thrive!”
