Your green thorns adorn
All fixed with lights and color
I'll just throw you out
Bowie and Crosby Christmas is a special time

Bone white snow forest Still, quiet, stained pink with dawn; One plump, red robin.

This one is beautiful. I've always liked the juxtaposition of red on white as in the Fleet Foxes White Winter Hymnal. -great work. But upon further reading, doesn't the second line have 8 syllables? Still, nice work.

Thanks! Maybe US English is quie-et. My clipped British accent pronounces it as one syllable. (on reflection, edited to replace 'and' with a semicolon as a kiru)

Thanks, I didn't realize that. Quiet was definitely the culprit.
