CAROL FOR TODAY
Away in a doorway, of a shop that sells beds, The homeless teenagers lay down their young heads. A silver band’s playing, the youngsters awake. It’s the Salvation Army with hot soup and cake. ...

Bah Humbug - A Grumpy Carol
Two days before Christmas Finally, it is near I’m so sick of the chatter and all the cheer Smiling faces, warm hearts, and hugs I can only think of one thing, Bah Humbug Everyone joyous and being extra kind One would think they have lost their mind Red and green decorations everywhere Gold or silver tinsel, I don’t care Houses all covered in lights Attacked...

Premium Member A Discordant Christmas Carol
So, you want to buy a gift for that famous geezer. First, hear about the midnight shift of our Ebenezer. Late at night, he is concerned. It is December time, when, it's been confirmed, good people lose their minds. Some gristle in his soup upset his condition. Now, he is unable to regroup and sees an apparition. He peers out the windowsill, as that stew's injury lingers,...

Premium Member CAROL, MAYA, EMILY AND JANE
Last night I heard Jane Goodall tell the story of her life of 90 years. She spoke a lot about her mother…and of her own wishes, dreams and fears. She spoke about her chimpanzees and their world which she loves living in. How her mother taught her to judge people by what they do…and not by the color...

Premium Member Cryptic Christmas Carol
'Twas the night before death...: All sleeping...who will breathe their final breath? Cryptic creatures climb throughout the homes searching for souls that shall seep away from their bones. Music, lights and decorations dissipate with forest frost. Will the deceased speak of afterlife's criss-cross?' Families and friends awake or asleep in the chambers? Within their embodiments to expire as embers. The grim reaper flows,...

A Tribute to Carol Peters
Warm and calm The reflection of your demeanour Pierced the darkness in any situation The intrusion of your smile Helped many to go the extra mile In a while, we will see you again Then your joy will be fulfilled Diligently you did your work We shall not forget your servitude Your daughters echo the river of your love Like a dove, you...

Bethlehem Baby
While shepherds watched their flocks so white All contemplating dusk, Their ’phones received some breaking news All thanks to Elon Musk. His Tweet announced a virgin birth In a stable by an inn, They danced around the windswept heath To a flute and violin. In Bethlehem was born a child A-sleeping in a crib, They scrolled the Twitter crowd’s response And thought it rather glib. The...
