Christmas
from Ririro.com - Poetry Hosted by Ririro
"Christmas" by Paul Laurence Dunbar crackles with the energy of a holiday gathering in full swing — fiddles playing, fires roaring, and a table heavy with possum and warm drinks. The speaker urges everyone to dance and feast through the cold night, brushing off biting frost and whistling winds with laughter and togetherness. Through vivid dialect verse, Dunbar captures a specific, joyful African American holiday scene where Mammy nearly faints from the smell of something baking, and the whole community presses in, hungry and alive.
