Dec Exercise in Written Imagery Contest

evergreen          night
seasons          manger
family          men
colored          gifts
red          bells
new          tree
herald          greetings
holy          gathering
lowly          lights
wise          stocking
wrapped           year
sleigh          angels

Shift down five


I gaze thoughtfully at the lowly lights twinkling
On this quiet December evergreen night

Carolers softly herald greetings, round the new tree,
The red bells gleaming above the metallic colored gifts.

Family men and their brood attend the holy gathering
Around this seasons manger.

Sleigh angels tinkle softly,
Mothers smile as they stuff this year’s wise stocking .
Another holiday season passing, another wrapped year.
