Best Christmas Time Poems

Nightgowns on at 9:01
Adrenal induced delerium
Santa’s journey has surly begun
To our beds, we were a scurrying

Closed eyes, at 9:05
But sleep would not come easy
We’d twist and turn, side to side
At least til 5 past 3

Then somewhere before, 3:44
Sleep would come, by chance
Til little sis would creep through the door
Ready to sneak a glance

Prowling the stairs,...

Christmas Time is coming . . .

Sometimes the celebration gets totally out of hand.
Anticipation swells the air, music, music everywhere.
Lift the baton, sound the horn, strike up the band!

A country music icon, Clint Black, once sang,

“I'm looking for Christmas, a Christmas of long, long ago.
with spruce, lights and tinsel
and sled runners sliding on snow.

“I'm looking...

(To the tune of Silver Bells)

Wooden sidewalks, and the shop fronts,
Dressed in wild western style
In the jail there’s a feeling of Christmas

Cattle mooing, cowboys shooting
Riding mile after mile
And down at the Long Branch you hear

Silver spurs, silver spurs
It’s Christmas time in Dodge City
Jing-a-ling, saloon girls sing
Soon it will be Christmas day.

Mobs in street fights try...

Merry Christmas and all that stuff and don’t forget to write,
Now if you would all be on your way I’d like a silent night.

It’s not that I haven’t enjoyed your stay, I have you must believe me,
I just wish that it were over now because your leaving would relieve me.

I’d like to say that the...

To all who see the good in me
All that is lovely, sweet and fair
To all who will not see the thorns
Who nourish me with love and care

To dear ones who have loved my rhymes
Who with their words have spread the cheer
To all those who have seen and loved
This poetess consumed by fear

To all those who...

~Christmas  Time~
( Rhyme )


Another year it's to end
As the new one quickly descends
Christmas Time is with us again
Celebrate it with family and friends

Be the best that you can be
With family and friends spend time well
Show people you love that for them you care
This's the time of the year that with love you can tell

Love...

It’s Christmas time again and I still here all alone, 
               waiting for you to call me on the telephone.
I know this year will be harder than the one before, 
       I can only hope...

I miss you most at Christmas time
and it's hard to know why, other than this:
with each December I feel the loss of you so keenly.

December when we first kissed, 
December when we'd discuss all future Decembers together.

And fantasise of curling together on some remote sofa, vaguely aware of the tree and the twinkle of another...

A-a special birth
S-savior our Lord Jesus Christ....

Christmas Yule Tide Horn Haiku

what a dearth of mirth
welcome Jesus and His birth
beyond all worth on earth

saw star in the skies
by three men who had been wise
met with much surprise

much to our delight
brought star did show in the night
Jesus brought much light

waited for a while
then saw Jesus with His smile
one day was on trial

on Jesus...

This Time, This Place

The music of Handel swirls in my soul,
And could I but see beyond my horizon,
Beyond the limits of my heart;
Beyond the sunset of this day,
A star of proportions so immense 
To shatter the state of dreamed pretense
Would fill the sky
Into the heavenly realm of shepherds
I would see them awed by the star...

The time has come to string the lights and decorate the tree,
Fix-up the barn an' house a mite for all the folks to see,
Cause Christmas time's around the bend, an' Santa's underway
A-makin' toys for girls an' boys, an' gifts to fill his sleigh.

The widder Jones, from down the road, her cook-stove's bellerin' smoke,
She makes tamales...
