Poem
Twas the site before Christmas
and all through the place
All the poets were writing
happy thoughts to embrace

They sprinkled each stanza
with seasonal things
Like Santa Claus, candy canes,
five golden rings

All phrases were penned
with a holiday gleam
As sugarplums danced
in the midst of their dream 

With Frosty the Snowman,
live wreaths on the door
Evergreens, Jingle bells,
presents galore

Tree trimming poems,  
sleigh bells and joys
Fairly land winters
and elves making toys 

A star in the sky
that three wise men did see
A babe in a manger,
the nativity

Hot cups of cocoa,
the garland is strung
Tinsel and ornaments,
stockings are hung

I read and I laughed
and I grinned ear to ear
Perusing their poems
of Christmastime cheer

When I thought of writing 
out one of my own
Not a creature was stirring,
I sat all alone

I stared at the screen
wondering what I could say
To bring many smiles
on this wonderful day

But try as I might
my mind just couldn’t think
Of something for Christmas
to put down in ink

So I sprang from my chair
and I caused such a clatter
My neighbors called out
“Hey Chris, what’s the matter”

“It’s Christmas,” they shouted
as snow starts to fall
“A time to spread kindness
to one and to all”

When then, like a sled
moving quickly downhill
I got an idea
Of a way to fulfill

I ran to the keyboard
and started to tap
Before settling down
for a long winter’s nap

My fingers were nimble,
like reindeer they flew
To type out this message
so long overdue

For all of the poets
I’ve been lucky to meet
Who write so amazing,
leave comments so sweet

So here are the words
I decided to say
Merry Christmas dear Soupers
have a great holiday



Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Soupers
I hope the holidays bring you much happiness and joy
and you are surrounded by love
I will be away for the holiday, so I will see you again next Monday
