DELICIOUS CHRISTMAS
The taste of Christmas,
Tantalizing,
Delicious,
Scrumptious,
Buttery, sugary,
Treats that melt
In the mouth,
Leaving
Hazy thoughts,
Sugary highs,
Languorous dreams,
Rivers of chocolate,
Glistening crystals
Of colored sugar
Coating cookies
Crisply baked and shaped
Into stars,
Angels, snowmen,
Santa,
Christmas so sweet
So rare,
A treat
At this time of year,
Our senses so keen,
Let them swirl,
And twirl,
Making memories
So real that tears
Flow free
At Christmas.
This poetic tribute to delicious treats made me very hungry!! I love the way your words swirl around each other, and even that makes me hungry! xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteIt's more the thought than the actual treats than conjures the memories, don't you think? So many good memories from watching mom cook treats in our kitchen when we were growing up. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI agree - I love eating the treats, but the real fun is in making them with people you love.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, Shannon. The time spent together is the greatest gift of all.
