Lot of Plenty Walking up this barren hill, we would not expect to find this marvelous saturation of green, silvery blue to olive, splendid hues of Christmas. My children zigzag through a conifer maize, screeching in delight. We touch needles dusted in sugar, inhale tangy pine resins. My senses summon up the fruit of my childhood; I gain appreciation for evergreen memories being shaped for my progeny - presents held for their future. © December 2001 Corinne Bailey |

Corinne - this is a beautiful poem - seriously - and it inspires me to think of memories I might give to other little urchins about long tailed cats and rocking chairs. I'm not a very good free-form writer, but you get the idea. Something about clanging pots and pans, dogs barking, and lots of rocking chairs rocking...heh |
