Gingerbread house
Kelesy Ahn
white icicles glimmer, sugary sweet
in the dancing white light where cold and warmth meet
the hard nutmeg walls encasing within
a big, happy family with a gingerbread spin.
gingerbread grandmother paints her gingerbread birds
on gingerbread jelly beans in gingerbread herds.
gingerbread grandfather cheers for gingerbread soccer
and cracks jokes to the gingerbread children- he’s a talker.
gingerbread aunts and gingerbread uncles
all gathered around on gingerbread couches
boasting and complaining of their gingerbread children
who’s better? who’s worse?
and on christmas day, in their gingerbread joy
they’ll all gather around in hopes of gingerbread toys
presents bestowed upon each, young and old
cinnamon smiles warming the whole gingerbread home.
