Merry Christmas
Evergreens coated in luminescent
snow
Rambunctious
squirrels mischievously rummaging for grub
Lonely street lights
casting a gentle glow
Sparrows chirping a
symphony of song
Blackened slush resting
atop the salty pavement
A rainbow of lights ornament
the empty verandas
Acorn filled wreaths
hanging above expressionless knockers
A dog
peeing on the soldier-like hydrant
Roguish raccoons
readying their forage atop the refuse bin
Lovers clutching hands
as they hold each other close
Smokey chimneys
radiating the air with the smell of burning wood
The sunlit moon
gazing upon the petrified calm
Stars twinkling their
angelic code
Upon us is the
Saviour’s birth, Merry Christmas.
Thank you,
Joseph Pede
