My Christmas blanket upon my bed, Gingerbread men with arms wide spread, Each stitch, every row crafted by hand, The bitter nights to withstand. A sleeping cat, snoring lightly, Curled and tucked up against me tightly. Two snuggled up in sleeping form, Struggling to keep one another warm. The aroma of coffee at five o’clock, Chugging and gurgling into the pot, Enough to fill my stoneware cup, And warm these winter fingers up.

Any bird, any color, your choice |
