My stories

Cherry

E is for Elf and Evergreens

unseen hands making true lucky children's wishes their coats are never new but, in Winter, riches
Cherry

D is for Dove (Decoration and Real)

blind symbol of peace, cut from wordless paper, swings hunger flown further out shy beauty on grey wings
Cherry

C is for Cracker and Chestnut

two hands snap! out old joke cheap toy, soon lost and crown velvet lips speak through spikes of secrets swelling brown

B is for Bauble and Rowan Berries

sparkling, empty, always perfect this man-made fruit, unlike seedful berries gloriously unput
Cherry

A is for Angel and Ash Tree

watching with unpacked calm pale face in cornered dark as ash trees reach, each arm in sleek, moonsliver bark
