Christmas morn

 

Presents under the tree,

gift-wrapped and stacked neatly,

Tree adorned with lights,

vivid colours invite

thoughts of happiness,

take us on a flight,

beyond the balls of sparkling glass,

like stars they sparkle bright.

 

Silence as the night falls.

only the elf on the shelf to watch over it all.

Mince pies and sherry,

placed delicately in clear view,

for the man in red suit

to devour in a bite or two.

Some carrots to feed his hungry crew.

 

Sellotape and glitter

star-shaped confetti river.

Shiny paper sea

surges as the strips are torn.

Waves of joy

on this Christmas morn.

 

Songs of laughter,

chocolate covered smiles.

Under oceans of wrapping paper dreams,

faces beam

with each new discovery

as they swim through all new worlds of luxury.

 

As turkey and stuffing fills plates

on TV the Queen speaks

sprouts get hidden

with sleight of hand techniques.

Slowly yawns fill the air,

contagious they spread through all

and into a nap everyone quickly falls.

 

 

Thanks for reading

hope everyone has a Merry Christmas

Peace, Love and Poetry
