Numbers and feathers, trots and roaming
Spice with dashes, thrown in sashes
Dots and wreaths, clots and breaths reeming...

on foreign fields that were trodden
     by armies at odds.
     Our wreaths laid on sods

It was the wind that dressed her,
It carried wreaths and gently
Woven dresses for her,
As for her magic that was
Hers alone and she could
Show it to whoever she pleased....

There is beauty to be found in December snow,
drifting upon the wind, where gentle breezes blow.
A month of glad tidings; wreaths of holly and pine.
To memories, we sing farewell in 'Auld Lang Syne.'...

And come here to Maui for Aunt Ida's guava strudel
Flower wreaths she has made
So of course, you'll get leid
Then go home to write your tropical footle

They
were in
their twenties
when their future
brutally ended.
On this chilly morning,
the snow had put downy wreaths
on the white crosses. I never
tried to count them. There are too many,
and it is not a large cemetery.

In this blue hour between branches
The waxing gibbous moon
Hangs like an almond blossom petal
Gleaming bright at noon

And the little tree that wreaths it
So breathtakingly blooms
That I’m inclined to float away
With this almond blossom moon....

Christmastime

Green evergreen trees - candles aglow
Family and friends - wreaths with red bows
Cookies and caroling - sugarplum dreaming
A babe in a manger - a star brightly beaming

Dreams,

Drowns,

        S….


Life’s ruby dews 
Adorn petals of face,
Hurried moments pace,
Pale fading hues.

Cascades of rolling pearls,
Drown the eyes of mine.
Dainty wreaths of vine,
Crown my darling’s curls....

Hold on
Let me get this right
Hold back the incredulities
Gasps of Horror
Hands to mouths
Ladies hands a fluttering
Screams of shock
Headlines of awe
Virtual wreaths
Tik Tok of endless sadness
Sunday’s service
Seems so
Useless
Hypocrites
Listen...

SPRITZ

Season’s heavenly treats,
Shaped with a cookie press.

Stars, trees, pinwheels, wreaths -  with
Sugar sprinkles on top.

Sweet, crunchy after baked

Santa “cherry cheeks” smiles -
Sugar cookies and milk!

Autumn leaves fall, sprouts away 
Extend night, and condense day
Each leaf talks, a bliss to me 
Shiver'ng from collect time tree

I may smile when wreaths of snow 
Sprouting, where the rose should glow
Moving to sing, when night play
Ushers in a twinkle day...

hobo artists
share frowns
of
fortune.

hands give chaperon
harems to accelerate
truant arousal.

postscripts bargain ordeal,
casualties
fatalities
blossom hymns,
paying tribute to jagged wreaths.

and

bolero cotillions
applaud javelin

The child within us weeps at marble headstones 
pallid wilting flowers dark plume wreaths scatter 
harpsichord of heartbeats waltz on grey day plot  
wind chime soul petals float past afterlife clouds.

The holidays are here
Time to gather with love and joy
Decorations, wreaths and mistletoe
The holidays are here
Lights glisten in a show with snow
Children thank Santa for their toy
The holidays are here
Time to gather with love and joy

Taps will play again
Old soldiers will march
Fewer again this year
Tears will be shed
Fewer again this year
Wreaths will be placed
Fewer again this year
Heroes will fade
Their sacrifices forgotten
Hidden
In the yellowed pages
Of history

Trump Bringing In the Shears

Sure seems like and what it all appears,
Trump had been bringing in the sheers;
Kept cutting;
Head butting;
Our fears were everything disappears.

Jim Horn

While we will worry and everyone wreaths,
Caught Trump again stealing all the sheaves....

Wreaths
Paintings
Wall hangings
A decorator's paradise

Wooden cars
Paint brushes
Stick on designs
A child's moment to learn how to drive for the first time

Candle wicks
Candle scents
Colored wax
A candle maker's luxury

A hobby for all
Who come to seek out
Their good fortune...
