Christmas in the Cob Barn

Last Christmas, we had a feast and dance and performed the Wizard of Oz in the magical Cob Barn. Here is a poem remembering it and looking forward to Christmas to come. Merry Christmas!

Cob Barn Christmas

We dance beneath a wreath of threaded fir,
four red candles flicker in the dusk
trestle tables line the barn
heaped with cheese, crackers, and gingerbread.
Christmas gifts glint at our ears
a chill slices our bodies,
we dance on and all about
the sound of an ancient stereo
the smell of hay, mice, and winter.
