Christmas tree lot

Sad orphans ripped from
the forest stretch out their limbs
pleading, ‘Take *me* home.”

Christmas lights

Like flickering tongues
of flame in green…blue…red. Just
plug in and enjoy.

Picking Christmas trees

Like speed dating, if
they make a good impression,
they come home with us.

After the storm

Inside the snowglobe
winter’s still life settles as
flakes swirl in the air.

Color of winter

White has many shades.
Shadow blue, sunlit gold, grey
of approaching storm.

Let it snow

Summer’s sizzle leaves
me cold. Instead, winter’s white
embrace warms my heart.

Snowflakes

Gently falling stars,
nature’s sand slipping through the
hourglass of winter.

NYC Christmas

Windows at Lord &
Taylor gleam with holiday
scenes. Small worlds of joy

Times Square

The heart of the world.
Like fireworks that never fade
explosions of light.

Holiday shopping in NYC

Bryant Park transformed,
craft booths shine with baubles, lit
from within  with smiles
