Carol
Upon the eve of dying she could not speak. And all her opened tear ducts Sprang awake And flooded forth from The founts of creation A new sea. Oh, yes! She cried a sea of tears Because her words Had passed the door of possibility, Because her boys Would not be there For her to comfort them, Because, perhaps A whole life Needed to be grieved. How I loved her. She could hear...

ghosts … of Christmases past wander through this disconsolate house weary but hearty hearts that once thrummed, eager and one their echoes … soft-whispering me of what’s imperfectly precious then … and now. ...

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.

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...
