The quiet of Christmas morning,
everyone is still asleep as the sun
comes through the front windows
where the traveling bonsai trees,
Fica and Camellia, cast their shadows
on the table under the windows.
The smell of fresh coffee brewing
made special this morning, having
mixed in mocha with the Pike Place.
Later, the dogs enter the kitchen
having concluded their mistress
isn’t getting up to let them out.
Checking the Weather Channel App
having added towns where
family and friends live
from coast to coast,
Kate in the Northeast
and Lisa in the Northwest
are experiencing
the white Christmas
others can only dream.

Southern Magnolia Blossom, Kingwood, Texas — Image by kenne
The hot hazy sun
A southern magnolia
And bourbon whisky
I surrender now
As luring blossoms open
Breast cleavage softness
Afternoon delight
Gives rise to my Whitman muse
Literary trysts
