No Jack Frost nipping
No Frosty Snowman dancing
Rainy day in December

No Jack Frost nipping
No Frosty Snowman dancing
Rainy day in December
Haiku

Tis the time
Of lights abounding
Shining and
Reflecting
In the world and in hearts of
All everywhere
Shadorma

December
Enters bringing
Joyful exuberance
Common days are filled with
Delight
As pleasant sights and sounds abound
And a giving spirit
Enters our hearts
Again
Butterfly Cinquain


December’s days ending,
The New year countdown begins,
Such bittersweet times.

Midnight
Cold December night
A single star shines bright
I give thanks for its sparkling light
Tonight

Become quite a special day
Lasting longer each year
All those bargains are waiting
Commercials tell us loud and clear
Kick the Thanksgiving Day tradition
Forget family values held dear
Rise early or shop late
Ignore staying home with family near
December’s big day is coming
And shopping days are few we hear
Yes! Today we can shop and save
Such awesome deals will appear
All across town the stores are open
Let’s give thanks as we all cheer
Embracing commercialism
Society succumbs without a tear
Acrostic
