Christmas DecorationForgive me sweet, Jesus, for
Spending so much time decorating
The Christmas tree and the streets
Of my town
But
Neglecting my soul to adorn with
The words of Thy message: To care,
To love and to help those in need,
This Christmas!

Decoration DayWe called it Decoration Day
When I was just a kid
And up ‘til now, I never knew
Exactly why we did.
I always thought that it referred
To stripes that soldiers earned
Or stars and bars for officers,
But that’s not what I learned.
I googled it to double-check
And found out...

There Used To Be a Decoration DayOh, there used to be a Decoration Day
Set aside for our Civil War dead,
That later was changed to honor all those gone
That live on in both our hearts and head.
But now it just seems another holiday
When we lay flowers and we grill steaks—
We scarcely note...

Conversation To DecorationIt started with conversation
By out of work frustration
Heading the way of desperation
As they filled in their application
Many would lack education
Would it lead to their great expectation
By training induced concentration
Next day they reach preparation
We needed no invitation
To war went this modern invasion
Many came back in transformation
Whilst...

Gifted DecorationGifted decoration
Bestow innocence,
And sincerity-
unto me.
Explode my heart,
once more and again.
Saturate me;
With ache-
and farce.
Give charm,
on everyone
And also glee;
Reward innocence-
and sincerity
unto me....

Decoration DayOn May 1, 1865, Charleston, South Carolina,
Freed African Americans held a parade of 10,000
In honor of 257 dead Union soldiers,
whose remains they had reburied from a mass grave
in a Confederate prison camp
Although Blight (historian) claimed
"African Americans invented Memorial Day
in Charleston, South Carolina",...

First Decoration of the SeasonThe beautiful wreath hangs upon the door,
Upon the door to greet all.
All who see it will have to smile,
Smile as they recall.
Recall how festive the season will be,
Will be for one and all.
All it took was a wreath on a...

The DecorationThe water-pool was
thickly covered with
roses;
a decoration for the
marriage.
The fishes in the pool
died after some time
due to suffocation.
Some days later the
roses rotted.
Long live the
newly-weds!...

Scene of DecorationSENSE OF DECORATION
flattering in detail
defined
with such
dreamy effects
common
&undulating
in shape
so carefully
constructed
beyond foliage
a fingerlike canopy
shaped
whilst striving
for the
simplified
swirling &uncovered
in enamel segments
an
outline
utilised
by the enclosed
synergy
sought
& juxtaposed
stark
angular
a spiralling manifesto
deployed
with gentle folds
shaped
to
bestow a
fundamental
observation
winding its way
THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma...

Decorating For ChristmasIt's the second week of December.
Christmas of course is my first thought
and the cards I should be writing instead of this.
Unwrapped gifts are over-running the closet
so I can't find my shoes.
I must get out my Santa collection,
my grandson has asked twice already
remembering some...

Smorgasbord of De-LightLights on the roof, in every tree.
Candy canes line the walk, come see,
old garnishments, many a kind;
can't leave any blow-up behind.
