A spiked lattice of emerald green,
Dotted elegantly across the scene.
Embellished with juicy, crimson gems,
Sprouting from a prickled stem.
Slimy-looking, as it reflects sunlight,
And then matte, for the duration of the night,
Sharp, spiky arms, sticking out,
Yet, shrivelled up in self-conscious doubt.
Dusted with sugar, the colour of ice,
Sparkling softly in the sunlight slice,
Casting olive puddles on the ground,
Whilst the red berries sleep, safe and sound.

#adventchallenge. Born in a stable in Bethlehem. to be the saviour of all men. The story of Jesus is told to us young. We worship him with hymns that are sung.
#adventchallenge. The kids come round today. And I made them tea. Whilst I did the cooking. They got out the Christmas tree. The cat joined in the fun. The noise got quite loud. But the end result.
#adventchallenge In a snowy stable, Overseas, There's a nativity, And lots to see. There's Mary and Joseph, Hand in hand, Listening to, The animal band.
#adventchallenge. Stoke your fire. Lust, admire. Don't want to be caught napping. She is dressed. In silky best. And says she needs unwrapping. Feel your way. With fingerplay.
#adventchallenge The decs are up, The wrapping's done, Bug's just arrived back, With a hungry tum, So take away it is, But we can't decide what, Whatever it is, It will have to be hot.
#adventchallenge I couldn't feel the push to write a nativity poem- Charlie is doing his first nativity play on Monday I'm going to be a blubbing wreck. *just saying ;).
#adventchallenge Icicle, icicle, The scaly fingers. Freezing the life, On the bark your linger. Icicle, icicle, Silver, transparent cold, Entrapped, The elegant wind's blow.
#adventchallenge Standing outside, Shivering in the cold, Sits a snowman, Strong and bold. A black hat upon his head, Gloves drape from his arms, Three red buttons, Everyone, he charms.
