The Dirigible Balloon
Poetry for Children

December Lights

Decorating trees, bushes and eaves.
Red, green and white lights sparkle
Christmas.
Blue and white lights sparkle
Hanukkah.
Pinks, blues, greens, reds, white and amber lights sparkle
Joy, Peace, Love.
A string of lights
bedecks a giant blue dumpster
Peace, Joy, Love and humor.
