Happy Holidays, Everyone!
December Gatherings
As for the jays up north,
the chickadees and woodpeckers,
another wintry day dawns
partly-cloudy and cold.
Not for them
a mad dash to the airport,
the fuss of preparing a feast,
a whirlwind of progeny and presents,
and torn wrapping paper stuck
on stockinged feet.
Sipping my wake-up mug of coffee,
how I envy these unpretentious friends,
but by day's end, how much richer
my life, and how hum-drum for them.
