In Tacoma’s Winter by Cat Melaunie

Poetry
Written By Cat Melaunie

In Tacoma's winter, bright and rainy grace,
A tale unfolds in each raindrop's embrace.
Tacoma Elf Storage, a festive sight,
The mystery continues to fervent delight

Ice skating by the waterfront's cold bliss,
and Santa welcomes each puppy kiss.
Try Ice Cream Social’s gingerbread flavor!
Jack Frost delights for all to savor

Santa Run 5k, a merry race,
Through Tacoma's streets, a jolly pace.
Carol-vanning with the crew in cheer,
Instruments resound, enticing yuletide near.

Santa Parade, a festive array,
Howdy Bagel joins the grand display.
Two weeks off school, solstice intermission,
Kittens staring at lights with twinkling visions.

Point Defiance Christmas Lights aglow,
Spanaway's display, a radiant show.
Leavenworth beckons, a snowy retreat,
Snow cooling off the cocoa’s heat.

Dusty's winter slushies, a vibrant sip
Cooling tongues as memories flip.
The Pantages hosts the Nutcracker's dance,
A ballet of dreams in a winter’s trance.

In Tacoma's winter, stories unfold,
Of elfin storage and cozy households.
From Spanaway Lights to Ruston’s rink,
Tacoma's winter summon with a gleeful wink.
