I am Tangerine
bright orange fruit
tender, thin skin
like a dancer
in black fishnet
I swill,
I twirl,
I loop,
across
a fireplace mantle
to dive
into the toe
of your
Christmas stocking.
Do you get a piece of fruit in the bottom of your stocking? It is a tradition in my family. For today's challenge, how about writing a list poem about all the things that can go into a Christmas stocking? I'm still having fun. I hope you are too.
This brings back pleasant childhood memories and the blend of smells from fresh fruit stuffed in a Christmas stocking. I also enjoyed the playful antics of the tangerine. FUN! Your poems make Christmas extra jolly.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the gift you just gave me. I like the idea of my poems being jolly. I'm so lucky to have a good friend like you.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! It's fun!
