Christmas at Ca D’Zan December 28, 2013
Posted by nrhatch in Art & Photography, Poetry.comments closed
In contrast to the simple Cracker Christmas at Historic Manatee Village, the decor at Ca D’Zan deigned to dazzle.
Red, Green, and Gold sparkled throughout the Ringling Mansion.
An enormous tree reached to the mezzanine.
Greenery brightened with holiday lights splayed across the portico.
Fireplaces bore festoons of festive greenery.
Even the scullery and butler’s pantry bore evidence of Holly and Jolly.
Giant poinsettias acted as understudy for flickering flames.
The massive tree stood tall, overseer of all things Christmas.
One last look as we close the door on this opulent display.

The theme for Haiku Monday this week is RELAXATION.
Peace is one breath, one
thought away. Relax. Let the
past go. Just for NOW.
To play along ~> swing by Amanda’s blog (Funky Frugal Mommy) ~ Haiku Monday Theme and post your Haiku in the comments section.
Then relax and breathe.
Aah . . . that’s better!
