Riding Winter’s winds.
Elves will hone their craft on toys
For children across the world.

He was in the workshop
Making toys himself
But he has no time now
For making his own toys
Because he’s out delivering
To all the girls and boys...

Include your name, hell that stinks

Love is not a merchant
it doesn't keep count
it's not how much or what
but why and how it counts

from heart of love

from heart of stone

Blush check
 you can see it on my face

I sit; dog snoozes; bees parade
In, out, in, over, under flowers

Kathy’s Christmas cards were exquisite and legendary.
Expensive.
Classy.
Pop up cards with glitter.
Santa’s workshop, Christmas angel, Jesus in the manger.
Her envelope included a family logo.
Elegance most of us could never pull off.
She does it with grace....

We revel in our deceptions,
Careen in the mallowness
Of the majolica
That is our life.

There are no truths—
Only deals.

The sky this evening
Seems surreal.

This is art.

We are critics
Of the coffee cup,
Knowing what we like.

Those who do,

His workshop looked neat.
Unlike many others who prefer dusty feat
His tools are arranged in order.
Within a tool-line with a border
He took one at a time.

The repetitive saw of metal against metal,

The bashing of steel for designs,

The whir of the copper polished

And the hiss of the patina finished.

The file and sandpaper rasping on the brass

The noise all around

The hammers they pound,

As we create our own sound....
