Pleiades poem 'Letter C'

Christmastime

by Trina Layne

Christmastime is coming 
Creeping as slow as clunky computers or considerable holiday traffic
Checking calendars compulsively, but no commensurate haste for the 25th date
Carollers' cheer will circumnavigate continents 
Confetti smiles spreading across city and country, contagious 
Could we cut away the caseload of peripheral days
Can't Christmas be instant? The Church bells chime
