"Do You See What I See?"

"Pick an item associated with Christmas and write
a poem from that item's point of view."


You fellas, so shiny–
bright globes of
Christmas color.  May
you all last as long
as I.  My top cap 
is askew, so I cannot
hang as straight 
as you.  I am the first
ball they ever purchased.
Fifth Avenue Hallmark
store.  One side says
Season's Greetings,
the other, 1979–
the year they were 
married.

About purplepeninportland

I am a freelance poet, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. I live with my husband, John, and two charming rescue dogs–Marion Miller and Murphy. We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York. My goal is to create and share poetry with others who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve in you, and feel your sparks as well.
