My stories

J is for Jingle Bells and Jackdaws (another go at this)

bright sound from high, cold night of promise drawing near dusk; like roofs' slates took flight with joyous jew's harps' cheer
Cherry

I is for Icing and Ivy

concealing sweetness spreads white, on all made before lushly sheltering birds' first food in next year's store
Cherry

H is for Holly (for sale and for song)

Tied wild tamed by gold spray fussily ossified bright red in gloss green sway where feasting blackbirds ride
Cherry

G is for Glitter and Gorse

scattering sparkle specks outlast family trees bully wind's brash frolics fresh gold unfurlings tease
Cherry

F is for Fairy Lights and Frost

fossilised Life's dark fires strings of electric sweets skimming crystal empires as blue sky's bright heart beats

Every time I read this, another bit leaps out, like
"silence crowded underground" and
"a pick-and-mix of greed and our need / to stay above the ground"

I am listening to a series about WW1 just now, and your poem resonates so...
