Transformation

A woman transforms a blah room into one that shouts Joy to the World!

She walked into the room and looked around
At the blahness of it all.
A nondescript sofa and chair occupied space against the wall.
A drop-leaf table sat forlornly by the fireplace.
The windows looked out onto a bleak landscape.
Nothing in the room invoked a feeling of joy.
Nothing.

So, she placed a red candle on the table.
And added a basket of pine cones and holly.
And tossed a Santa pillow onto the sofa.
And strung green garland along the walls.
And hung a wreath over the fireplace.
And outlined the windows with twinkling lights.
And filled the air with the scent of bayberry.
And suddenly, the room was
Humming
Singing
Shouting
Joy!
Joy To The World!

Your poem describes reality very well. My ex-wife was very good at transforming our environs at Christmas time into a Currier and Ives landscape. Certainly not drab and definitely not blah.

Beautiful. This could've been about my mother.

I love the way you start the poem with a blank slate and then work it up to a full fledged beautiful Xmas story of love and beauty. Well done dear Linda, hope your Christmas was peaceful and healthy x
