Tinsel sparkling on trees that toys lie beneath,
Holly with berries and the hanging of the wreath.
Everything is red and ever-green.
Hearth and home are comforting;
Evening is nigh.
As the snow begins to flurry,
Radiant we see the stars in the sky
Tonight.
Oh, Holy Night the angels sang beneath one special star. Can you
Feel the way the shepherds felt back then so long ago?
Commercialism of the Yuletide season,
However, was never supposed to be the
Reason.
Is there something different that we
Should be doing?
Take a moment to reflect. What really matters?
Make a promise to the babe whose birth you celebrate
At this precious time. Do for others the whole year long and
Share your heart!
I'm sorry, I just can't (T)ake it anymo(r)e.
Everything h(u)rts, (m)y life is falling a(p)art.
I should have (k)nown (i) would mess it a(ll) up from the (s)tart.
I'm (c)limbing to t(h)e roof and f(i)xing this.
My (l)ife is worthless.
I'm a (d)isappointment to my pa(ren)ts.
goodbye forever.
Will you come with me where
Everything is magical?
Wonder awaits you, and everything
Is beautiful!
Leisure can be ours, with
Luxury surrounding us!
Pack your bags.
Are you
Ready for adventure? Are you ready for
The best time of
Your life?
Lavish food and drinks we can
Indulge in, as well as many
Kinds of fun activities.
Entertainment on the ship is endless!
Take this trip with me.
Head out to the sea!
Enjoy the sun
Relaxing on a deck.
End your day with dancing or
Sipping on champagne!
Nothing could be finer than being
On a cruise!
Taste the good life
On exotic isles.
Mingle with
Others coming for their sweet
Revival time!
Reality left at home we will suspend.
On this cruise, we’ll let our hair down, and
We’ll party like there’s no tomorrow.

Computer catfish anglers
Are out phising every second, day and night
Trawling the world wide web with baited hook
For innocent victims to catch
Internet sites such as Facebook and Twitter
Supply them with constant schools of fish
How easily they reel in trusting people with their deception
Can you be one hundred percent certain
A person behind the computer screen is for real?
Trolls don’t live under the bridge like in fairy tales
Fake profiles, false pictures and fraudulent names
Intended to disguise who they really are
Sadly some victims of their abuse resort to suicide
Hope these evil ‘catfish’ get caught and end up in court

Live life as if a miracle
Open your eyes you’ll see
Undeniably biblical
It’s truly gluten-free
Some might be skeptical
Views might be apolitical
Everyone has their own say
No one stops to enjoy the day.
Take a look at the biological
Even Einstein could not disagree
Right before you all this time, give praise and thanks to Thee.
S ometimes you have to
M ake the best even
I f God gave you
L ittle to work with
E ven if it just means flipping that frown
R oses, ruby red you always brought with you
O h, my darling, I love you so much it hurts my heart
M y whispers tell you so over and over
A nd time and space does not diminish how I adore you
N ow, sit my darling and we will dine, and
T ip our wine glasses to love eternal
I n the flickering candles we speak so softly
C an we skip the final course, my love
R uby lips need your kisses
O h, come my love, follow me and, lets
M ake this night last long, oh kiss me my love
A nd hold me all the night in your arms, and
N othing can take you from me until the morning
T wo swirling in the moonlight as one . . . because
I inside this dream we are one forever, evermore, oh
C an it be true my love, that you are but a name engraved.

M y heart is joyfully raised to Thee, Oh Lord I implore
Y our loving guidance and grace for what’s in my heart’s core
T his year, I promise to renew my vow to Thee
W hatever I do, I’ll always do my best in Your glory

T o be patient at all times in my journey with many children
Y our image and great love be seen in me and in my talents
T his year, I’ll give more time to take care of myself
W atch the foods I eat, drinks and take time to rest
E very weekend, I’ll go for massage, join recreations
N ever give up my exercises like aerobics or sports
T ake time to swim at nearby swimming pools
Y es! I’ll also do gardening. That’s fun and cool!
T his year, I want deeper spiritual encounter with God
H ave lots of time for prayers and singing hymns-- I’ll be glad
R enew my baptism through recollections and consecration

O ptimism should always be carried on my shoulders
L earn to control my expenses, save for my future
U rgent needs and charity are priorities and no more
T each my children how to recycle, reuse and reduce

S o help me God that I’ll abide in all my New Year’s resolutions.

Place 3 (up to 5 multi-w)
My warmest greetings of a Healthy, Happy and Prosperous New Year 2023 to all! God bless!
Sunlight dictates our days somehow
Evenings speak of duvets now
People begin to cough or sneeze
Trees start to dread each single breeze
E-type says there’s nowhere to park
Mornings complain about the dark
Blackberries doubt that they’ll get picked
English sheepdog begs for a stick
Radio talks of candidates
Fake news drowns out any debate
Autumn colours each working day
Leaves demand to be swept away
Last week’s paper knew it was true
September would remember you.
Take a journey with me
hear the beat of poetry as we stroll,
read my words and listen to my heavy steps.
Inside each poet a clock has ticked off a thousand miles !
Verses fall like flower petals raining down,
each day a new poem pours from poet's hearts and souls.
Now, I have been following a new poet . . .
inside her soul dwells the true beating drum of poetry!
Carpe diem, verse, rhyme, etheree, lanterne forms she conquers.
Many of us also struggle to learn these forms but we persist,
you, me, and threvini share the words in our heart.
Silence rages in this chaotic world but we have poetry !
Open your eyes and see this new poet and embrace her,
realize the gift we have been given to write for peace, bliss and faith,
each poet new or old is special !
