Cinderella had collected <br />so many rose petals <br />from outside - Our shanty <br />began to float in fragrance <br /> <br />Only the sound of her slippers <br />stirred this December night air <br />In the next day or so <br />I'd be out collecting mistletoe: <br />The Winter Solstice was looming. <br /> <br />© Calac<br /><br />Chris Lane<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cinderella-and-the-rose-petals-winter-solstice-looming/
