Mistletoe
Mistletoe
From Christmas Eve to Christmas Eve
Mistletoe magic plays its parts.
Sticky berries. Evergreen leaves.
Decorate homes and capture hearts.
Cosseted by fresh hanging twigs.
Each house from fire protected.
The passionate young dance cute jigs.
And celebrate love connected.
Parasitic plant? Early morn.
Keystone ecology was set.
Nesting therein was safely born.
Spotted owl. Marbled Murrelet.
Mistletoe myths. Mistaken scorn.
Traditional kisses. Squeezed selves.
Joyful souls, uplifted, reborn.
Dreamy love lures enchanting elves.
Hang mistletoe above your door.
Before this passing year does end.
Stay safe throughout next year and more.
Happy New Year wishes begin!
