Best Sugarplum Poems

Toddlers' Exploration: 

Cardboard drum and a thunderous beast
With playful roars in tiny fists and feasts.
Fleeting wings glide to dreams just out of reach
Soaring through tales of barnyard Waddles and Squeaks.
Moo! Quack! Giggles tumble and bump.
Flaps flapping, bright colors peek
"Brown Bear, Brown Bear," what do you...

Deck the Yuletide Halls

Winter’s bounty of floral beauty ever blooms through snowy nights
 Even when nature wears a mantle bold stitched of frosty weather
  By warming fires and in the apparel of amber scented candlelight. 

Wreaths of Holly and of ivy grace the halls...

"Kris Kringle Kisses Kalliope"

A Dream: the 4th Christmas.





deck the halls 
with memories
poets whisper pasts
that are ne’er forgotten

where presents 
a life 
that’s neatly wrapped
and attempts at 

frostily forgotten 

tucked under
that big 
beautiful
green fir tree

where all the dreams
of poets go
gold starred, tinselled
and angel mounted 

ripe cherries 
kissed
crassly

As the peacock-sage 
waves of whimsical peace
faded in silence's 
pale watercolors, 
I masked my 
eerie eyelashes, 
with drifting 
angel-mist smog. 
For, I sensed the 
wistful wailings of 
ambrosial lilies, 
encased in my 
heart's crystal casket, 
as wistful wildfire of 
hatred incinerated my 
wildflower-wonderings 
and life's...

rambunctious conundrum
rambling about some dumb outcome
you can try if you want
but this guy can never be outdone
can't stop now, I'm having too much fun
don't like what you hear
you can find the exit
by collecting the sprinkled cookie crumbs
heaven is tasting 
your honey pie kitty cat sugarplum...

When duskfall  glints across a  lustrous  arc
Deepening the green of our Yuletide pine;
My eyes capture this eternal  wonder
As  a ladder of bulbs  surrounds  the pole:
Joyful  these hours ,  graced by a ritual
Every late October , Dad’s...

only by a fluke did I manage 
   to worm winning trust 
   among Christmas elves and reindeer
confident this generic guy, 

   would never breach scandalous 
   tidbits, into a an underground impregnable

As we headed with the shadows
Along the primrose path
You were bemused, you were afraid
You were alone
You let to live along with those
humanoids from the deep
Cursing you...
Yet you concealed your pain
With your smile that appeared so lone.

Once I misread your eyes
I lost my patience...
There I thought...

What Exactly is Christmas?
By: Caroline Knudsen

Christmas isn’t just about the presents you receive and the food.
It’s not based on all the cute decorations.
It’s more than that.
Christmas is about the birth of Christ.
The joy and love that spreads throughout the communities everywhere.
The giving; the wishes granted....

by colluding via "FAKE" fluke 
did I manage to worm winning the trust

One more time, I must reiterate one more time
that I'm not complaining
I'm for once trying to find the bright side 
of this inflatable balloon called life
with a glass half full point of view 
but my bottle is all the way empty and I feel like...

Christmas bells, can you hear them ringing?
all night long, carolers singing.
A magical night,
your eyes shut tight
waiting for Santa’s magic sleigh to land!

Penciled out, is the last day,
so today, it’s the right day.
And sleep seeds dreams,
with sugarplum themes,
waiting for Santa’s magic sleigh to land!

In the morning...
