It holds the spirit of Christmas

With its flowers, pink and white

A variegated beauty, dazzling

To warm our winter nights

Her leaves of emerald green

Snuggle up, from rooted stems

Together they decorate our holidays

And we smile, because of them

The poinsettia is a Christmas tradition

Brought here from Mexico

A tropical plant, with such elegance

Of sweetest nature, does bestow

Dank, dismal, dark days

Dreaded and disregardful

Dreary by design

There has to be a valid reason

Why we only see these for one season

Speckled eggs are so yummy

We should fill up our tummy

No matter the date, I don’t want to wait!

Could this be an act of treason?

The Magic of Christmas

Was born in a manger

In ever so tiny a space

With the brightest star

Shining His light on us all

Tis Jesus, our saving grace

Oranges aren’t Apples ~ #poetry #DecemberWriting

Though tough skinned on the outside

She holds her softness deep inside

The apple, on the other hand

Is only soft when he’s been pied

Too many nights out drinking

Upside down, he makes his way

Rolling around the counter top

With a bunch of nuts, he sways

She can no longer watch him

She needs to squash this party boy

There’s only one way to end it

To get back some sweeter joy

Seductively peeling her outer layer

She reveals what he’s been waiting for

Then, when he least expects it

She rolls him on the floor

Never mess with a naval gal

She’ll get even when she’s crossed

Now all that’s left, a broken stem

‘Cause the apple has been sauced
