snow fallling  hot tea a warm fire
a christmas song with words that inspire


White Wilderness

I recall the yelling but silent voice of winter
that broken December when the lights from
lanterns shot up from their wicks with the
fading strength of departing glows abroad.

Twilights hastened through the spine of
receding days, halting the approach of a
wayward Christmas.
The wilderness around us yielded froths from a
puking snowstorm,
fastening laces of Hell with strings of abundant
sleet.

Christmas In July

I'm sorry I didn't bring 
roses to your funeral. 

I brought a Christmas 
wreath instead. 

I didn't want to symbolize 
your withering, 

I wanted to represent your 
eternity, 

and the joy you brought 
others instead.

White Wilderness

I recall the yelling but silent voice of winter
that broken December when the lights from
lanterns shot up from their wicks with the

The wilderness around us yielded froths from a

fastening laces of Hell with strings of abundant
sleet.

Christmas

Christmas is a long song sung in winter,
An epic poem written with white quill feather pen and
Gold ink, and on clouds of paper,
Beginning from a sneezing December to a
Dizzying twelfth-calendar month,
When snow drizzles gently into the souls of
Those who hearken to the tinkling sound of
The church bell which rings gently with the weight of
The slow-passing season.

I see whiteness in every song, with so much redness;
Regal and romantic; flagrantly friendly.
Oh, how pure!
Oh, how sweet!
Well, that’s Christmas.
It lights up the courage in us to think right and assume
Merriment in the warmness of some frozen hearts.
It’s the best time of the year.
I swear to this because I am a child of Christmas.
It’s a time of fog and dew and sleet that rebaptise us.
Let’s not forget the slanting rain whose liquid kisses us.
And white Christmas of snow-carpeted lands and seas.
There’s no other time or season like it.

So full of gentleness and love,
Christmas causes hearts to race s-l-o-w-l-y,
As the year races on to breast the tape of seasons.


Premium MemberAuld Lang Sighs

It doesn’t happen everyday
Through perilous weather, flies Santa’s sleigh
Reflecting in the Winter sun
Are its legs, in gunmetal grey

Yet as Christmas Eve turns to Morning
Falling behind red-silk and cotton
Among the frost
One’s mind is lost
And all else is forgotten

The children play with what was brought
Without as much as a second thought
From where these marvellous gifts came
Or in the manner how they were wrought

To gratitude, they must adhere
In the closing of the year
Unaware that these times are austere
And each of their new toys, hold near

While countless harsh weeks lie ahead
A return to school, many will dread
And memories, so bittersweet
Will be recalled instead

They say that what goes up, must come down
Such includes the crib and tree
The wrapping and its debris
Whilst wearing a cap and gown
This cold new year evokes a frown

My love, it looks like summer days with a bit of shade. 
Singing birds dancing upon your grace
Rainbows are crying at the beauty that you paint
An everyday Christmas when you're awake
You are a gift to me
Cherishing how your hand sparkles 
Feet smoother than any babies 
Sweet Carmel skin

My love looks like winter but is always sunny
Never below seventy degrees 
Lioness bowing down to royalty
You are powerful 
Understand your force 
Control the wind on this earth 

Is that you, Isis?

~Reborn

A Christmas Wish

May your annual commemoration
of the winter solstice
with one of the Earth's poles
at its maximum tilt from the sun
be abundant with innumerable manifestations
of felicity friends good food and fun
and may the next full circuit
of the ecliptic engender
a propensity toward
bestowing plenteousness too
and may unparalleled prosperity
be forthcoming
and settle like snowflakes
gently upon you

Dears and Darlings

Trees of powder,
Delicate and firm.
They conceal my feathers of frost.
I perch myself by all that glitters
All that warms, and all that flickers.
I perch myself by candlelight
Snug in my nest of yarn.

My dearest deer is lost today.
The other starlings fly away.
Drifting off, a state of slumber
Filling me with fear, but wonder.
My nest of yarn, it cradles me
Despondent, I've become.
My woollen retreat, it comforts me
But chilled air bites my bones.

Beyond me waltzing are deer and starlings.
The others, romancing, like dears and darlings.
These shards of ice are carving, carving
And I know I should be out there, dancing, bombarding.
Glaciers, ponds, shining, sparkling
So stunning, so sinister for one who's so wanting
But no. Instead, in my head, I've been trying
To rid my thoughts of these paths I'm embarking.

I wished to be there, filled by warmth and by sympathy,
And in return, I was gifted immunity.
So instead, I laid here. I filled up with wonder
Drifting, and lulling a state of slumber,
Despondent and desperate, melting candlelight;
Found dead when my deer galloped into my sight.

Premium MemberThe Cut-Out-And-Keep Guide To Trees

the silver birch
it likes to hide
so as you search 
at eventide
you find it there with many friends
playing poker through the night

the common oak 
a wise old man
an aging folk 
since time began
grandfathers of the forest they
speak myth and folklore when they can

the sycamore
with helicopter seeds
sets out its store
among the weeds
then grows to be big and strong
from people’s picnics on which it feeds

the horse chestnut
is the conker tree
the children’s favourite
but too spikey 
until they are ready later on
and why kids were late home for tea

the yew
is old
and grew
so slow
its age is in millennia 
and battles from the archer’s bow

the hawthorn
its blossom white
and at dawn
as if it snowed all night
then all too soon the white has gone
a desperate case of bad stage fright

the conifer
fir, spruce and pine
a regular
likes mead and wine
to keep it warm in winter then
comes into homes at Christmas time

Christmas Night

The winter sun hung over the bay
A golden orb sending its rays
Far & wide to bathe in light
This town by the sea, before Christmas night.

Winter And The Night Sky Aflame

In last clear winter night  
I saw red light like a phoenix
a light careening downward
against the canvas of aphotic sky.

Present were the planets 
which aligned among constellations,
passenger planes embarking with clarity 
out on their own ways.

Had they seen it too? 

or was it a figment of an exhausting mind 
combined with my unreliable eyes,
projecting a spectacle 
to shake me from malaise, 
return my sight to players
peeking behind the curtain, 
the world’s stage I put to writing 
exuberant in image and voice.

The comet of some past poet perhaps
showing off their place in eternity
as if the words were not already enough.

The Silence Of January Snow

Wintry Sunday spent in bed,
rather than take Christmas lights down instead,
I'm right here, where I'm meant to be,
with you, this crossword, my next cup of tea,
a world turned cold, is left on hold,
it's futures untold, as yet to unfold,
January has no place to go,
but just listens to, the silence of snow.

Happy Merry Christmas!

All day is snowing,
Santa is coming,
What a good winter season.
Parents are merriness,
Babies are in happiness,
They jumps to the sky any reason.
Happy Merry Christmas!

Father coming from shifts,
Brought a lot of gifts,
A big holiday in Your house.
The brother is happy,
The sister is happy,
Your Mom is happy twice.
Happy Merry Christmas!

When the sky is bright blue,
The dreams are coming true,
Let there be peace on the land!
Let's singing and dance,
In a year just one chance,
Merry Christmas is our brand.
Happy Merry Christmas!

the

star's gone

from the top

of the Christmas

tree, the lights down too  

tinsel packed securely

will winter bring on the blues

remember the joy of the gifts

the delight in each of the children's eyes

so, the tree must be packed up this cold day

memories stored away, a few snapshots, too
