Christmas In Edinburgh

by
Juliet Wilson

 

White fairy lights draped in the trees

Ice skaters in Princes Street Gardens

Snow on the summit of Arthur�s Seat

Huskies pulling sledges round Holyrood Park

Wild geese by Duddingston Loch

Stollen* from the German Market

Ferris wheels

Mulled wine

A fat orange cat by an open fire

A Christmas tree gifted by Norway

Candlelit carols at St Giles

Cold crisp stillness

Yellow moon low in the sky

Perhaps hope

Perhaps peace.
