all you write
out loud poets
why not have a go
at writing one reverse
nonet, it should look like this
when you have finished writing it
for some ‘christmastide’ fun and frolics

Stars
from the
Christmas box
dusty corners
hidden in the loft
each bauble has a memory
every tinsel frond a friend
celebrations and auld lang syne
pause to think of future and the past

Star
Joyful
sign atop
a Christmas tree,
baubles glistening
and children listening
to ancient stable legend
then in bed before sleigh bells ring
and boozy festivities begin.
