Silver filled burlap sacks beneath a forest green
a single crown, ivy tangled, wobbled as it leaned
all antiquities... stolen from a greedy ogre king
Fireflies dashed from sycamore branches
stirring song in air and fabled romances
lovers leap, taking their chances
Giggles and dew drops spill jubilantly from mint leaves
what better celebration of such prized charities
gathered around a fire, beneath forest green trees
