The Postman

He schleps constantly at noon
Through declivities and straight roads,
Bearing messages sealed by the hands
That laid them bare in the first place.
Sweat caresses his face, forming one mass of
Earnestness in every breath of delivery.
“Hello,” he says, “your mail. Your package.”
My palm breathes harder, having neared his.
I sign the delivery paper and reach out for the
Package.
He is fussy with time and gets rewarded when
The Christmas bells chime slowly
From wintry belfries posting blandishments of
Yuletide.

Merry Christmas!

A bright coin rolls into his palms and greases them.

He welcomes titbits of news within crimson cards.
His lungs inhale airs of chaperoned champagnes
Amid the voice of canticles, soft and secret.


Fireworks

They rise and sparkle and crackle,
Shaming the nakedness of the skies
And the city, with one frightful flame of
Youth,
Burning with the zest of
Seasonal lore.
At Christmas, they salute the days
Creamed by snow and sleet,
Thrusting in us the wisdom of
Global ceremonies.
They are the lightning of Yuletide —
Lightning unaccompanied by rain.
Shaped in balls and spears, and lean
Fragments of flagrant colours,
They are armed with their own thunder —
Thunder that speaks volumes and calms the rage in
Frenetic dogs.
They are coloured paints splashed lavishly across the broadest
Canvas ever —black and seamless
We see through their lens, the running dusts
Of sparks,
The dancing circus of sky-circuits
And the happy wars waged on the frontiers
Of seasons.
They strobe around the cold earth.
New Year’s Eve is riddled with conundrums,
Waking sleepy souls to sneeze up details of
A frazzled year.
The heavens are lit up lavishly,
Electrified to stupor,
Reminding us of choirs that chorus to the tunes
Of life everlasting.
Carousels ride through our minds, young now,
Old tomorrow,
With sparks that shine this moment
And dim the next.
Such is life.

Christmas Is Five Days Dead

Evergreen corpses strewn on sidewalks
like victims of plague,
still adorned with specks of tinsel
abandoned and forlorn
once welcome houseguests now in the street 
never to greet another New Year

all the presents unwrapped
put in proper place 
beside last years loot of 
sweaters, records and notebooks
never got written in

nothing to drink and no money for the bar
the food all gone except for leftovers 
that no longer appear appetizing 
to the eyes of yuletide withdrawal

I walk down the street 
and see no one, 
all the decorations down

on television Jimmy Stewart 
kisses Donna Reed for eternity
and here I am.

Premium MemberChristmas Kind Of Love

When the warm nutmeg spirit of generosity
moves you year round,
a Mrs. Claus heart fills your smile.
It's a Christmas kind of love on
any given day,
it has you singing, "Joy to the World,"
with your Yuletide soul soaring 
pool side in the middle of July.
It's a Christmas kind of love
throughout your life. ~

             Holiday Acrostic

Holiday joy, may it always remain to be yours!

Old-fashioned, fun-loving, cuddly, sleigh-ride tours.

Lots of hot apple cider, in mugs filled with happiness to drink!

It's the most holy birthday of The Christ Child!

Do attend Church, do be meek and mild.

Anticipate, family and dearest friends, at your door.

Yuletide greetings, be yours~Christmas is just around the bend!

SWEET SOLID YULETIDE POSITIVITY

christmas in the rain
celebrating with imminent spirit
held captive by nothing
enjoying the rare smile of the world

everything is made of candy
an outpouring of amity will be so dandy
never knew that growth, maturity, and lessons learned would come in so handy
i so enjoy the mutual warmth that i see in each family

christmas in the snow
cherishing with imminent effervescence
held at will by no one
enjoying the seldom seen joy in the world

everything is inspired by love
there is not a push and nary a shove
Divine Intervention comes on The Wings of a Dove
a more Perfect Gift From God i cannot think of

Yuletide here

Does this mean much to you,
Force fed at Yuletide too?
Unsure if Jesus meant all this,
Tinsel town of retail bliss,
Beginning to feel like Yuletide,
Snow in Aussie ocean tide, 
Swimming and drinking,
What is Santa thinking?
Overfeeding everyone,
Overstuffed games in the sun,
Does Jesus think we're crude?
Groaning, here's more food,
Gimme more gifts and a card,
Graft for Christmas, that's so hard,
No matter who's to blame,
Mega stores feel no shame. 
Buy, buy, buy, right away,
Rather ceasefires this festive day,
Despite Bing Crosby, okay
That's what Jesus would really say!

Yuletide Season Is Here

The summer season
Is just come to an end
As the colder season
Is fast approaching
The Christmas carol
Is just starting in the airwaves
And Christmas decorations
Is now displayed in malls
Christmas light is in plazas
In front of every facade
Of every town building 
Christmas trees begun
Standing in every house corner
And the climate is getting colder
And people's face are getting brighter
Really, the yuletide season is coming
A celebration of heart and union
A long celebration all year round
A holiday celebration of the birth of Jesus.

One Merry Christmas Or Another

Will this Christmastime be the best one you’ve had?
Will it be a joy and Feliz Navidad?
Will it be an endurance of familial hell,
Or peace and goodwill and a Joyeux Noël?

Is visiting kinfolk at Yuletide quite risky,
Or thrilling and Felicem Natalem Christi?
Are you certain that your days will be exciting and full;
An unforgettably happy and festive God Jul? 

Are your Christmases dismal or times to remember?
Do you try your utmost for a Krismasi Njema?
Or do you prefer to keep everything low,
Instead letting others have a Maligayang Pasko?

Whatever it means to you when comes the day:
A tedious trial or Giáng Sinh Vui Ve?,
I wish you peace wherever you’re goin’,
Happiness, joy and Nadolig Llawen.

Premium MemberSanta and Rudolph Amazed - POTD -

Cold night and with the breeze, leaves were swinging, 
Santa and Rudolph stopped puzzled they heard 
From a small chapel, children were singing
Carols for Yuletide, such lovely each word.

Santa and Rudolph stopped puzzled they heard 
On that hill everywhere covered with snow
Carols for Yuletide, such lovely each word.
A graceful star from high they saw it glow.

On that hill everywhere covered with snow
The bells rang but they remembered the boys,
A graceful star from high they saw it glow.
Santa had to transport to all, his toys.

The bells rang but they remembered the boys,
From a small chapel, children were singing

Premium MemberMerry Yuletide

Through the frosty forest we roam
With our keen-edged tools in hand
We seek the fairest Christmas tree
That shall adorn our land

We spy a pine with verdant boughs
And spires of tender green
We fell it with a gentle stroke
And bear it to our scene

We mount it on our sledge and speed
Back to our cottage warm
We plant it in the parlour bright
And gaze upon its form

We deck it with a glittering store
Of baubles, lights, and rings
We crown it with a radiant star
And bind it with gay strings

We cluster round the cheerful hearth
And chant our festive songs
We bless the Lord for His grace divine
And wish each other merry Yule-tide

Premium MemberAn absent friend at Christmas

The children are sleeping
Well they’re in bed at least
Family in the kitchen 
Preparing the feast .

The presents are wrapped
Nestled under the tree 
I sit alone by the fireside 
With a glass of brandy

The  candles are lit 
The lights turned down low 
Peace permeates chaos 
In this Christmas Eve glow

It’s here that I find you 
In these embers of light 
And although you have left us 
You are present tonight 

Your love and your laughter 
Your Yuletide extremes
Making everything special
With your Christmas routines

You’re not a distant memory
Not just a bauble on the tree 
This is the time I miss you most
In the heart of my own family 

But you are here, you are with us 
Because love, love doesn’t die.
It still lives  on within us 
It cannot say goodbye

When we gather round the table
When the mistletoe is kissed
You’re in the hearts that cherish you 
And once again you’re in our midst…

the bazaar season

it all seemed bazaar to me;

that Santa wore a thick fur lined coat,
but our sun gave off a blistering heat.

xmas characters wore overcoats, beanies and gloves,
but I was wearing shorts, T-shirt and thongs.

ice and thick snow covered the festive ground,
but I looked upon a dry ground covered in dust.

sky`s were cloudy, grey with no shining sun.
but I stood under blue sky with a blazing sun.

they slid over freezing snow and ice
I was cooling off in the deep blue sea.

The season’s trees were lush and green.
but the trees I saw were dry and brown.

when they were out looking for reindeers,
I had to look out for slithering snakes.

they placed the yuletide log to the open fire,
I turned on the air-conditioner way up to high.

people drank steaming cups of egg-nog,
but I was adding ice to my soft drinks.
 
even though the temperature was over 30 degrees,
we still had that hot, cooked lunch.

Finished off with warm pudding and hot custard.

Another Christmas Toast

Forgive me once this Yuletide whim
           With Champagne bubbling to the brim
On wanting to find Mistletoe 
                      To steal a kiss from one I know

Traditions of an Egg Nog taste
                       Without a minute yet to waste
Are wrapped for every Fruitcake find
                 To cheer the hearts of all mankind

Such sentiment in red and green
              To bless this joyous Christmas Scene
Is what I seem to love the most
                  So here’s another Christmas toast

To one and all with love to spare
                 May this day find you without care
And full of laughter, hope and light
                  To shine forever through the night 


Merry Christmas to ally PS friends!!

Premium MemberMilo Hates Christmas

I adopted a cat around Thanksgiving
He was the sweetest thing in the beginning
To my surprise
He’s in disguise 
With The Joker kitty I am now living  

This balmy yuletide season Milo despised
My silver tinseled Christmas tree he demised
Never expressing gratitude
A clawing catty attitude                                                  
Yet a contented kitty I have surmised
