off the cold metal trellis
bound for warmer ground

Playing bear on a trellis

Mirth’s made by sharing
Smiles chuckles a wink and nod
Bright laughs in dark rooms

what can we bear –
on my father’s nightstand
a half-done crossword

On a jaunt through woods,
pause at the tracks of a bear -
the path, disappears

After he arose, to Heaven's glory Christ was taken;
By the power of God, the devil's deathly hold was shaken.

leapt, but a shortfall
came up close but not quite
clipped the target, perhaps
but does it doesn't it matter
scattered seed amid weeds
a shattered dream distorted
through malnourished battered want
clattered by need
briefly freed from moments decreed
speeding escape velocity
towards a splattered heart
and revenge's chilled feed
regret, the bitter wine
choked down because something
is always better than nothing
until unless it's not

#MastoPrompt 26 Dec 25 - regret
**Weekend Pause**
This week has passed.
It's done, at last.
It was way too hectic.
Still, the next will come too quick.
A lesson to learn
Partaking in profuse mirth
Triggers a tariff
#dailyhaikuprompt Mirth Profuse

a Christmas day
pratfall –
the mirth of Christ

Mirth and merriment -
maybe we will remember
here in December

#Rural
to carry within us an orchard ...
-- Li-Young Lee, From Blossom

Some of us bloom as flowers,
buds on a green stem,
with roots taken to soil
Succulent fruit, ripe
as rhymed words,
poems on branches of trees
Others of us wait in cold,
huddled up, battened down
for season's change
The pit we feel inside
our stomach may yet become
the seed of nourishment
A final #SmallPoems for Advent of Joy, with thanks to @deannamascle for her calendar of poetic paths #clmooc
