The sunlight dances
Through windblown branches
On a late December day.
Let us stay,
And smile while we may.

You May Hold
You may hold
A maiden fair
With cold gold.
But empty air
Beckons the second
The gold goes.
The Sweeper of Leaves
The sweeper of leaves
Sweeps at all hours.
He takes new flowers.
And sometimes he leaves
Half-dead leaves, which quiver,
And wish to wither
Away. And we say
“Why take blooming flowers
When half-dead leaves stay?”
He sweeps at all hours.
All meet him one day.
Winter’s Bleak Weather
You will fly
Home today
From far away
And I
May give in
To sin
In winter’s bleak weather.
I am no saint.
The idea is quaint
In these modern times.
But does Man’s pleasure
In composing rhymes
To slim young women
Equate to sin?

Miss Spink’s Christmas Drinks
When a young lady named Miss Spink
Said, “would you like a Christmas drink?”
It ended under the table
With Spink and Miss Mabel
And a bishop dressed in bright pink!

I Forgot the Clock
I forgot
The clock
When life got
In the way.
But he did stay
Ticking away my day.
Don’t Kiss Strangers Under the Mistletoe
When a wise and far sighted minister said,
“Good people, don’t kiss strangers under the mistletoe!”
I wondered whether one can go
To a pretty stranger’s bed
So long as you don’t kiss under mistletoe?
(Therese Coffey, a government Minister advises against kissing strangers under the mistletoe, https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-59500232?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=KARANGA).
Autumn’s Dead Leaves
Autumn’s dead
Leaves rot
In winter’s earth.
Spring will bring
Earth’s rebirth.
