"One lone pine glows in a coat / of winter solstice glory / Pierces the moonless night / frightens all demon shadows." I love the idea of keeping our bright colored lights up all year as a beacon of optimism and unity. For four years... Let's start a movement.

Oh I agree. We (Jeff) recently installed one of those garage door holiday covers. I wonder if such a thing exists that just says Unity. How revolutionary, especially in my neighborhood. Most of the Trump flags and signs are down, but I noticed today there's actually a "Trump Store" in town. Holy frig!

What lovely poems! Thanks for sharing.

My neighbors across the street leave their Halloween decorations up all year. That's right, skeletons year-round. At least they cloth them in seasonal robes, like the Santa duds they wear now.

That's hilarious! And I can just see the skeletal Easter bunnies. Merry Christmas to you and Robert, Fran. Stay cozy, warm, and dry with these atmospheric rivers flowings through our lands. We really need the water here, but please, dear lord, in moderation?
