Christmas Kukai

 

 

 

snow falls outside
a lonely angel
sits atop the tree

Lucas Chatterton

 

family Christmas carols
snowflakes softly kiss
my rosy cheeks

Austin Taylor

snow bells ring
I'm not listening
until finals are finished

Mackenzie Martin

father hangs the ornament
I can't reach
Christmas Eve

Mia Klek

 

hands grasped around my waist
I place the star
atop the tree

Trey DeLuna

twinkling lights
shine on
the homemade ornaments

Kalli Farmer

matching pajamas
nearly tripping over each other
on the way to the tree

Maya Dougherty

 

standing under the mistletoe
my eyes meet with
my dog's

Austin Taylor

the ugly ornaments
we made in kindergarten
mom's favorites

Maya Dougherty

choir concert
the director pauses, mouths
from the heart

Lane Casper

 

the kids try their best
to fake patience
Christmas morning

Lane Casper

snowball fight
struck by a fast one
on the back of my neck

Alex Herrera

middle of the night
I peak out the window
blanket of snow

Benjamin Maynard

 

home from school
Christmas tree
is already up

Benjamin Maynard

Mom's mashed potatoes
Grandma Libby's green beans
      must be Christmas dinner

Benjamin Maynard

an ornament shatters on the hardwood
holding my breath
until mom's forgiving smile
