A Christmas Pin

I like days
with a snow-white collar,
and nights when the moon
is a silver dollar,
and hills are filled
with eiderdown stuffing
and your breath makes smoke
like an engine puffing.

I like days
when feathers are snowing,
and all the caves
have petticoats showing,
and the air is cold,
and the wires are humming,
but you feel all warm...
with Christmas coming!

My Kitchen is a mystical place. It is a place where
the sounds and odors carry meaning that transfers
from the past and bridges into the future.

It is so cute! Ho! Ho! Ho! he says....only 4 more days until Christmas!!!!!
