Christmas Countdown Poem 2023: 5. Sights, Sounds and Smells


Deep breaths,
Charred smell of Cinnamon,
Eyes wide open,
The green and reds abound,
Go outside,
The air nips with cold.
***
Deep breath,
The musk of a fir tree,
Eyes wide open,
The velvet of chocolate,
Go outside,
The cosy feel of a warm coat.
***
Deep breath,
The taste of cold freezing air,
Eyes wide open,
People celebrating everywhere,
Go outside,
And play in the snow this year.
