a washed in the parks
strollers wheeled
pretzels salted
big gulps - no more
steam grates warm
with petals peddled
a leaves of christmas - green
there are rooms in inns
turn down services - bounced
sticky fingers - pulsed
cinnamon buns - warmed
pumpkins orange - pied
sticky fingers - licked
with a whip of a scarf
a chill disturbed
gratitude attitude
metro thanks
fingers mitted - some
strollers booted - pixit
with petals peddled
a leaves of christmas - green
fingers pulsed & licked
mitten wared - ready
ready for saint nick
strollers striding
at a jog or a trot
turkey & gravy - to fondue
roasted chestnuts
& pretzel logics
green thumbs a plumb
crystalized poinsettias
aplomb - aplomb - ready?
a holidays Sandied - Awashed
restorative rebirth
a flower not a rose
a rise above the thorns.
