NESTLED IN MY ARMS

By Charles Robert Lindholm

 

When I wake-up in the morning

and look upon your face

nestled in my arms

Lavender gathering

 

Gathering in the lavender
with little purple flowers
Heady fragrance everywhere
and all this perfume ours

Acrostic Poem: Oh Christmas

Oh Celestial Christmas where have you gone?
I remember it like a dream.

Oh Heavenly Christmas from days of old
when presents were never seen.

Oh Righteous Christmas what’s happened to you?
In a world where everything gleams.

Oh Illustrious Christmas you’re here too soon
you make me want to scream.

Oh Splendid Christmas why are you so wearisome?
Must buy must buy I want please.

Oh Twinkling Christmas so bright and so cheery
dulled by shopkeeper’s fees.

Oh Magical Christmas, who has taken your life?
Your spirit ignored like dead trees.

Oh Angelic Christmas we waited with patience
but now we anticipate with greed.

Oh Stoical Christmas when will you return?
To a long-lost time of my dreams.

An old one from my poetry site, but it seems to fit the competition better than my other one.
