Festive lights

(i)

a welcome
rangoli design
club entrance

(ii)

sampling sweets
from every box

(iii)

outdoor lights
and indoor lights
make the home sparkle

(iv)

distanced friends
bonding over
poker night

(v)

the maiden fries crackers
by the wood stove

(vi)

a prayer --
to light dark corners
with knowledge
