Tuesday's Writings #No 24- Christmas Spirit
Prompts:Rouleau, Pervious, Orphic
“I have no Christmas spirit this year,” I commented, “The rouleau on the tree even bores me.
“Rouleau you sound so pretnetious just call it trim.”
“The point it the orphic symbol of Christmas doesn't excite me.”
“ Using pervious words doesn't change the fact that, that makes two of us, Holly,” my brother Zach
answered, “I miss them too.”
“I’m so selfish forgetting you lost them too.”
“I have an idea what will make us happy,” Zach
answered.
“What have Christmas… just the two of us? You’re
always full of ideas, but it’s the follow up that’s the problem. I’ll be
cooking the dinner.”
“Come with me to the mall,” Zach begged.
“You’re crazy; the mall is zoo this time of year, a
week before Christmas.”
“Just follow me Holly. Come with me and you won't be sorry.”
Holly reluctantly followed her brother. He took her to the toy department and she
felt like a kid again as they laughed and played with some of the toys. Zach
put some of the toys in a cart. Then he went to the toiletries department and
bought things that Holly could use. But why was he buying all of these things
in front of her she wondered? Zach laughed and whispered in her ear and Holly
understood.
Holly picked up toys and some men’s toiletries and
put them in her cart. Then she and Zach split up Zach going to the women’s
clothing her to the men’s department. When they were all done they met at the
front of the store laughing and smiling they paid for the goods. Them they went
into the mall and in the centre of the mall near Santa they placed all their
gifts. They had found Christmas after all.

Naughty Kitten
Mesmerizing, electrifying, orphic in intent,
Mesmerizing, electrifying, orphic in intent,
Lights twinkling and shimmering,
A rouleau of colour wrapped about the tree
Pervious to the kitten's intentions
It's unravelling coming soon
