13th December prompt from cjnwriter: Sleigh bells
A drabble.
Sleigh Bells
Sleigh bells down the street are ringing,
Passengers, well-wrapped, are singing
Christmas carols, all are bringing
Joy at Christmastide.

Watson's at his desk, he's scorning
All things festive, deep in mourning.
Black; no green nor red adorning
Home this Christmastide.
~0~
Watson hears the sleigh bells ringing,
Hears familiar carols bringing
Memories of Mary singing…
Not this Christmastide.
~0~
Watson sighs, writes on, preparing
Holmes' past case notes, set for sharing
With the world; it helps in bearing
Grief this Christmastide.
~0~
Bells outside his door are ringing,
Voices he knows well are singing
Words of comfort, friends are bringing
Hope this Christmastide
