In naked trees
Bouquets of green
Are held high
Against the winter sky

Parasitic Bouquets
Grated to the trees
That hold them
In time they will bloom

Birds will scatter
Their seeds
To other trees
Creating new beginnings

Green petaled bouquets
Likewise
Keep dreams alive
As the hopeful
Wish for a kiss
Perchance
A special creature
They meet
And greet
Under a bough
Of mistletoe

Superstition?
I suppose
I have no use for mistletoe
And if there's any scientific
Use for it
I do not know

Poisonous parasite
Your incaptured
Romantic appetites

I find this stanza particulary interesting.

Superstition?
I suppose
I have no use for mistletoe
And if there's any scientific
Use for it
I do not know

good work.

I enjoyed the way your words flowed.

Good poem. It is sad to have no life except that which another supports. Joyce
