Sad - Christmas Stocking
he stares at the hearth
thinks stockings belong in pairs
and Elvis plays on...

Premium Member Sweet Stocking Ladies Feet
Ladies leather shoes
adorning stockinged feet
Clip clop
upon the catwalk
of the city streets.

Tired and aching after a long day
I bath them 
then pamper and massage 
to sooth those aches away.

The smell of those shoes
and her stocking feet
A feminine alluring treat
my tender loving lips
and warm mouth
find so wonderfully...

Premium Member An Extra Special Christmas Stocking Day
One hung stocking overflows
with a child’s treasury of
brightly colored gumdrops and
hard, sweet-filled candies.

Sugar cookies peek out from
the top of my treat-filled sock:
angels, stars, wreathes and snowmen
painted with frosting!

Catching my attention is
a movement from a stocking
beneath the tree, and I hear
a wonderful sound.

A whiskered face emerges
with...

Premium Member Uncle Bob's Christmas Stocking
Candy canes, sugar cookies and more
Sneaking joy into stockings galore
Except for Uncle Bob
Who was always a slob
His held brush, comb and blade he’d ignore

No fancy stockings
And no big mantel either
Every day stockings 
Hung over a chair with care
For old Santa Claus to fill

Just as excited
As the richest kids in town
Who hung fancy socks
On big beautiful mantels
With higher expectations

Those hard scrabble days
The only sweets that we saw
Were in our...

Christmas Stocking
**
When I was little 
there my stocking would hang full
of presents for me. 
Santa again made me proud. 
Dig until my arm was gone. 
**
Mom and dad would 
take pictures of us as we’d
open up our stuff. 
Wrapping paper everywhere.
Christmas wasn't the same.
**
 Mom wasn't...

The Empty Stocking
There was a babe
                 Not unlike others
Who wished upon a star
                 A Christmas...

Stocking
it's just a Christmas stocking 
green with fluff around the top
the difference is the love I feel
your pet name for me across the top

hung by the mantel with all of the rest
displayed for friends and family to see
adding me to your holiday list
our first together...

I'M a Bufifin and Wifey Is a Blue Stocking Lady
I’m a Bufifin and wifey is a Blue stocking lady, but still not at that stage to have a baby, still 
growing, her to a fine lady, myself to a true man, both trying to live as free as we can, love 
for one another...

Santa's Stocking Scuttle
The Judiciary would not budge
For Lawrence van Dyke was a smudge
He knew not his job
But how to hobnob
So Trump made him a lifetime Judge

The Whistleblower's indirect goal
Was to stop Donald Trump burning coal
By some miracle
Trump's stocking is full -
Just reward for selling his soul?...

I Will Still Hang Your Stocking
I will still hang your stocking...

Christmas will be different this year.
One stocking will be missing from the mantel.
One red Christmas plate will missing from the table.
One less gift under the tree.
One less person to sample my holiday cookie.
One less card to send this year.

Always know...

Pity the Poor Octopus
The octopus is a curious creature
With eight long tentacles his most outstanding feature.
But because of his oddly shaped cephalopod bod,
He's not one of those who looks stylish in clothes,
For his head's much too big to put a hat upon.
And like the squid...

Red socks canvassing
Frosted mantel rosy hue
Blue lights masquerade
Stuffers peak above the white trim
Brown, blue eyes recconoiter

Premium Member There's No Coal In My Stocking?

I'm heading home for Christmas
(Snows on the way)
In a plane, then a cab and a sleigh
Bringing presents and prizes I've made
Giddy yup horsey! I musn't be late
Of God we are saints, of myth this Nick
This mystical and elusive controtionist
Over rooftops, down chimneys without a slip
Hanging...
