CINQUAINS FOR THE SEASON

ROOSEVELT & CHURCHILL LIGHTING THE NATIONAL CHRISTMAS TREE IN 1941
"Under
a rind of moon
in a time of war, they
gazed up & were bathed in Christmas"
grandeur.
--Leonard Pitts Jr. 12. 11. '11

BAPTISM
After
posting the mail
I stop, notice oak leaves
furling down. And then one lands on
my head.

GOTTA BE OVER 18, SIR

Grandpa--
Christmas shopping
with a clerk for his 5
grandchildren--has to sign for a
movie.

MID-DECEMBER
After
this week, the Pope
will be as old as I
am. Lo! the discrepancy in
careers.

LAST BIO
"Known by
many, liked by
some, disliked by others,

gone to a better place." (Dick O.
Poyen)

FOR A FOURTEEN-YEAR-OLD
What is
more powerful
than TV, DVDs,
Harry Potter on computer?
It's SNOW!!
