swirled with ochre tones – and embossed
with tinsel and glare.

Poetry challenge: Christmas poem.
.
Submitted by Ex Libris Regina
Mall’s Mélange of Yule yodelling tunes,
Thick with fossilized marzipan.
Deflated Santa’s, dead balloons,
Fruitcake in the mousetrap, and
Howls, horrid howls of homeless Ghosts
Clanking their chains up the alley ways, and
To my front door, banked with snow.

Beneath the sparkling surface
Under festive ribbons and bows
Behind stockings hung with care
Lurks another side to Christmas
Filled with despair

Winter Wonderland
Christmas is near
in a small Italian town
aglitter with lights
under heavy grey skies
there’s a promise of snow

Picked on ribbon tone rivets
To march on the criss cross servant holiday
Crushed crystals disposed of in bubbling gas water
An altar sugar sweet crackling money pot
Full of deep desire and wished on treats
Craving shaken tear spreading raven coloured tunnel
Cheap trick for magician on the hock for a star turn angel

Silver garland flows bough to bough.
Icicles shimmer, capturing colored lights.
Blue bulbs bobble row to row.

Poetry challenge: Christmas poem.

A sobering thought
Can I ask your indulgence for just a mo?
and to picture a scene with me?
It’s cold and it’s started snowing
And down there, close to the sea
There’s an empty bus shelter and an old cardboard box
And a man on a bench looking grim
Do you remember that day when you were shopping in town
Can you not remember him?

Poetry Challenge: Christmas poem.
Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men
Crystal white in starlight’s gaze that peaks between the falling snow,
whispers sweet a Christmas song, upon a rhythm deep and slow…
It gathers in the spirit, resounds within the soul,
builds to bring a chorus strong of peace in phrases sweet and whole…
of peace on earth, good will toward men.

Peace be to you on this morn.
Our loving Saviour has been born.
And in the manger there He lay.
He came to take our sins away.

Christmas Poem: Challenge

Over two thousand years ago to date,
a baby was born of a virgin birth.
A date we remember and celebrate
by spreading good tidings with joy and mirth.

Christmas lights shine bright
while reindeer fly in the night.
My gifts are wrapped tight.
The angels on the tree in flight.

Christmas poem: Christmas.
i understand why people take their lives
at this time of year.
so much is expected of oneself..
be cheerful.
be happy.
make merry.
i can play the game, look the part.
but on the inside, i’m dying.

Christmas poem: Challenge.

Quiet moments watching the snow fall
Thinking of times past and days yet to be
We mold our future by the days gone by
Like most, I think of those close to me.

Christmas poem: Challenge.
Posted for Teasy.
Bells jingle for Kris kringle
Children, in a world devoid of pity
No Christmas tree, glitter or belles that jingle
Survival their priority, no exchanging of gifts
Santa why leave these children adrift
Though a legend and immortalised
What licence, allows thee to categorize

Posted for Teasy.
Children everywhere lie in beds
Frenzied hysterical unable to sleep
Listen en-toomed within a cacophony of noise
Devoid of silence, these innocent lie
Though if one child disregarded, passed by
Forgotten dwellers of a humbled abode
Santa never travels down their road

As Christmas Day approaches I panic,
still so much to do, where to find the time?
Mother of the clan, failure is a crime,
for a bare Christmas is truly tragic.
Expecting it to happen like magic,

It’s the most difficult time of the year
(Ding dong, ding dong)
It’s the most difficult time of the year
(Ding dong ding dong)
Cold winds are blowing, liquor is flowing
Nauseated by all the fake good cheer
It’s the most difficult time of the year

The Christmas Season has at last arrived!
Months of waiting, and of making up lists,
of what to buy, for who, and where to stay?
With so much good will, our spirits have thrived.
Even with bellies full, our host insists

Theo and the Christmas tree
There was a small boy named Theodore
whose age was three years plus a bit more.
He helped decorate our tree
with great oodles of glee
then made off home with more baubles than four!

Christmas Poem : Challenge

It’s a cold winters night, I’m all alone.
Wandering down the high street, I wonder
about the friends and family I’ve known.
Where are they now? All huddled together?
All warm inside, whilst I’m left asunder,
traipsing through snow in such ruthless weather?
Why am I out here, when I miss them so?
The crackling fire, the sparkling tree,

Today, in winter’s first day glory,
I’ve walked ‘neath frozen giants, gold,
held to sun in morning’s story
with midnight’s snow and breezes cold.
