Christmas Cookies - an Ovi

 Ronovan Writes

Ovi Poetry Challenge 78: TEMPTATION is your inspiration.

Temptations at this time of year
include the cookies, I do fear.
We offer up with our good cheer,
and none are left for Santa.

Sugar cutouts, gingerbread,
frosting green and white and red.
Save for later, or instead.
let's eat them all right now!

Hands are sticky, faces too,
joyful children, baking crew.
Messy house when we are through,
but such a happy home.

Weary white winter weather. Wake, wonderous warmth! ©2024 Lisa Smith Nelson. All Rights Reserved  F will be another A poetry form, the American Sentence.
