Best Time Of Year Poems

Beside the sea I stand alone
The water speaks in undertone
There’s in the air melancholy 
I stand alone beside the sea.

The sky is veiled in shades of grey
My frame of mind in disarray
This train of thoughts has been derailed
In shades of grey the sky is veiled.

This...

We may not have a "White Christmas", yet joy remains the same
I find delight in viewing candles reflected on frosted panes
They remind me to be grateful for warmth and light so near
Welcome to my holiday home at this special time of year

A scenic view of...

The air is fresh, mornings crisp and clear
God I do love this time of year
Vibrant colors abound on the trees
Gracefully falling with the breeze
The workday runs from sun to sun
Until the "Bringing in of the crops" is done
I am a lucky man to live this...

Please come inside; see right away
the Christmas cards that I display
in the hall around a mirror.
I love this special time of year.

Then in my living room you’ll see
trimmed red and gold – a handsome tree
where loved ones soon will gather near.
I love this special time...

Brief Prelude 
Diwali is a vivacious festival of Lights celebrated in India. It's big revelry time (akin to Christmas). The key symbolic aspect of festivity is lighting of oil lamps all around and indulging in fireworks. Night time, it's like stars descending on earth. .....Thanks

I smiled at you as you sang Christmas song
you stood enthronged by others, bringing cheer
my heart was sad; it thought of all that's wrong
and why must sadness come this time of year

My heart was not in tune to every note
To you alone I looked and...

It is that time of the year
When all the shopkeepers begin to cheer...
They've started the season sooner than before
In hopes that it will bring people to their store.

I am more tied to the traditions
Than I am to these indiscretions...
So it makes me go bananas 
When...

It's that time of year
  that Jews hold very dear
Called the 'High Holidays'
  followed by Sukkoth 
  a sort of 'Harvest Ballet'

A good time to take stock
  of how one uses the clock
To give the schedule a tweak
  to change...

  Frosty Time of year

A frosty winter tree
Jack frost cold as can be
Longing for warmth ~ spring


Who is that red head 
Sitting in that tree?
Could it be an ancestor  of 
Heaven Leigh?

it is superbowl  time of the year
when everyone's chanting a cheer--
the fans' smiles are beaming
while jumping and screaming;
one promising team will persevere...

The elves were busy, packing up Santa’s red sleigh for his annual trip.
The year had been busy, as usual, for the residents of the North Pole.
With the last load on the sleigh; reindeer hitched and Santa aboard, the elves punched out on the clock.

Santa was...

Christmas was my favorite time of year,
then she chose to leave with a tragic goodbye-
fearing not the end,
left breathless under a snow-capped Colorado pine…
o, December, December, why do i remember
what you gave to me during a holiday splendor

the darkest part is Christmas morn,
i remember her...

Raking the leaves high, than jumping in.  Every now and then, disgusted when
you learn a dog beat you to it.  Scary, hunched back cats, jangling skeletons,
Bobbing for apples, Rosy cheeks on your friends.  Cupcakes in the classroom.
And, oh, that lovely moon!! ...

It’s that time of year once again.


It’s that time of the year; it is here once again,
It’s time for the kids to be opening presents.
It’s that time of the year; it is here once again,
To get all you wanted and some things you didn’t.


So we...
