PIONEER POEM: JOVIALITY

Tom has invited us to participate in this
Mansionic Pioneer Poem prompt.
Happy to do so, Tom!

The first words of each line are the rhyming words.
Each line must be 5 syllables or less.
The last two lines of the poem are the same
as the first two lines, only written in reverse.
Here’s my poem.

Twinkling silver lights
Sprinkling snowflake frost

Making-merry time
Baking gingerbread

Jolly Christmas morn
Holly wreaths and boughs

Ringing jingling bells
Tingling frozen toes

Gifts all gaily wrapped
Drifts of silent snow

Boys with trucks and trains
Toys and games for all

Girls with princess dolls
Swirls of petticoats

Tummy full of sweets
Yummy popcorn balls

Kittens in the tree
Mittens with white fur

Cups of hot cocoa
Pups nipping ankles

Shimmering lip gloss
Simmering spiced tea

S’mores by the fireplace
Doors with big red bows

Glowing candlelight
Blowing wintry winds

Sprinkling snowflake frost
Twinkling silver lights

  1. I can see the snow falling through the large window, whilst the sound of jingle bells outside seems to echo in the distance. A very jovial, festive Pioneer Poem, Nancy. Thank you for taking part! πŸ™‚

    1. This was so much fun, Tom, and I was thinking of you as I wrote it; you’re the one who introduced me to the art of Pioneer poetry, after all! The graphic I found set the stage for the poem; I’m so glad you felt the spirit of Christmas. I certainly did! πŸŽ„
