Peace on Earth

 

Storytelling Time

Outside is a snowy and beautiful early afternoon...

 All the guests are comfortable seat down 

near the Santa Klaus; 

his magic book is open. 

The black bear cozy up to the bag of presents.

The little bear cannot 

take away his eyes from the sweet chocolate cake.

The Mr. Snowman cannot stop dancing 

and distracting the guests.

The smart girl-doll obeys and listening to the story.

Everyone gets along.

Nature's Gifts

Beautiful pink flowers 

are the Nature's Gift

because they are growing from the branches 

and there are no

visible green leaves,

just beautiful pink flowers

attached to old strong branches of a plant.

I see beauty and strength,

persistence, and success. 

 

Winter! Winter!

“Winter!... The countryman, enchanted,
breaks a new passage with his sleigh;
his nag has smelt the snow, and planted
a shambling hoof along the way.”

(Alexander Pushkin, 1833)
