Evergreen

E very winter as the
V alley fills with snow, after
E ven the maples stop whispering
R ed sled slices a path to the
G reen grove on the hillside.
R evisiting piney haunts, she pauses to
E xamine each tree carefully.
N ew bundle aboard she trundles home.

Holly

H ow can she keep her shiny green
O r flash her festive red?
L eaves of garden friends have fallen—
L ittered the yard in brown and fled.
Y et Holly puts on her party clothes and
S miles at the cold ahead.

N ot grey drear.
D rizzle doesn’t hint at
E tched window panes. I
E xpect enough flakes to spy (a)
R eindeer’s dozen prints, STAT.

I ces thick walls, stands
N utcracker columns between
G lossy sugar windows and waits.
E ager children taste—
R eel to the ground.
B arred cage oven
R eady for the Coven’s carol sing.
E xcept
A n unexpected shove.
D efeat! The children move in.
