A Sam Scott poem:
25th December 2023

Listen to poem:

I creep around Before the dawn The hopeful joy Of Christmas morn Each floorboard creaks As tippy-toe Snow laden boots So quietly go The child-like thrill Of early eyes Awake in hope Of morning prize For being good Has been the goal A clementine or Piece of coal Some nuts to crack With something sweet Then later Plenty more to eat How times have changed But what remains Are hope and love Each gift contains So lift your hearts Recall the reason But don't lose sight Of why the season We celebrate.. Not stuff or tat The world has had Enough of that But joy and peace To quell the noise For grown-ups Not just girls and boys Have a blessed Christmas x

Brilliant rhymes and flow of such deep and meaningful thoughts. I especially love the opening how you’ve started in a way that fits the mood of readers and the ending is so powerful. I agree, things may have changed etc but, it is not materialistic stuff we celebrate whether Christmas or otherwise, it is peace love and joy that we celebrate together. Heartfelt and soulful poem so well crafted and delivered. Hope christmas went well for you. Pleasure always reading your work. Happy new year

sorry I didn't see your poem until after Christmas, but found it filled with celebratory words and actions that summon us all to forgive and forget for a while. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, Sara
