RED BREASTED ROBIN

 

Red Breasted Robin

Sitting on the fence

With snow falling

God that bird is dense

 

Sitting out there exposed

Out in all weathers

Trying to look cute

As it freezes its feathers

WHITE BERRIES

 

White berries grow

In abundance

On the mistletoe

As the snow falls

Nature’s bounty

On the bough

Mother Nature

Stocking her Larder

For the long bitter

Winter to come

RED BERRIES

Red Berries grow

In abundance

On the holly bush

As the snow falls

Nature’s bounty

On the bough

Mother Nature

Stocking her Larder

For the long bitter

Winter to come

Landscape at Christmas

CHRISTMAS HOLLY

 

Christmas Holly

Evergreen tree

Christmas Holly

Leaves are prickly

Cut fresh Holly

Full of red berries

Help to make

The season merry

CHRISTMAS GREEN

 

The Christmas green

Festively untypical

It’s just a club moss

With creeping stems

Similar to ferns

With erect branches

It has no scarlet hues

Nor star shaped flowers

It’s quite unremarkably

Just another evergreen

CHRISTMAS FLOWER

 

The Christmas flower

Festively untypical

Having poisonous milk

And being tropical

But scarlet petal-like leaves

Make them appear more topical

CHRISTMAS BERRY

 

The Christmas berry

Evergreen and spiny

With flowers of every hue

From white to blue

With abundant berries

Bright red as cherries

CHRISTMAS CACTUS

 

The Christmas cactus

The winter-bloomer

Its jointed flat segments

Look like experiments

Made by a young boy

With a construction set toy

But the rose-purple flowers

Light up the winter hours

CHRISTMAS FERN

 

Christmas ferns

Abundant and evergreen

With Pinnate leaves

In lance-shaped fronds

Dense clusters of

Featherlike leaflets

In wide display

Decorate the

Christmas landscape

Of North America
