Christmas Poem
by Rachel Simone '20 and Hannah Pignato '20
Christmas o Christmas
Where art thou? Where art thou festive jingles that bring out Kris Kringle? We’ve searched for you in tightly wrapped tinsel and glittery garland In bright bows and rigid wrapping paper And warm holiday embraces of friends and family We’ve searched for you in the scent of freshly baked cookies, The scent of winter pine filling your nose, And Grandmas favorite perfume surrounding you, producing comfortableness We’ve looked for you in the voices of children, singing songs that will never be forgotten, in the snow tap-tapping on the ceiling of a perfectly cozy cabin And in the fire who snaps its fingers and creates sparkly sparks We’ve looked for you in the love shared throughout the holiday, And the heat the comes from newly formed flames, As well as the cold bite of winter which makes us wrap ourselves in scarves and mittens We’ve looked for you in the taste of grandad’s old English triffle, And the regret the coils like a snake when someone doesn’t like what you’ve given And finally the taste of blood from biting a lip in anticipation We’ve been searching for you far and wide Christmas o Christmas Where art thou? |
