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 

CHRISTMAS ROSE

 

Christmas rose

The Evergreen beauty

Winter-blooming flowers

Of white or purplish hue

In wide display

Decorate the European

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 BUSH

 

The Christmas bush

Is Australian obviously

And isn’t really a bush at all

It’s in fact a shrub or tree

With red flowers for selection

As Christmas decoration
