Ornaments/arrangements
No. 1
ornaments on the
mantlepiece tell their stories
memories stirred
No. 2*
arrangements
like pie crusts - apt
to fall through
No. 3
ornaments from
other countries - sparkle in
the light of the fire
No. 4
arrangements of
beautiful flowers to mark
a loved one's passing

* One of my late mother's sayings, sometimes 'arrangements' was substituted by 'promises.'
