POOR CHRISTMAS' DAY

       


       In the humble, sad dwelling,
    last year's Christmas decorations
     still permanent, the same ornaments...
        signs and clues of poverty...

Decorating For Christmas

It's the second week of December.
Christmas of course is my first thought
and the cards I should be writing instead of this.
Unwrapped gifts are over-running the closet
so I can't find my shoes.

I must get out my Santa collection, 
my grandson has asked twice already 
remembering some from last year that I don't.
He keeps re-arranging my display

Decoration Day

On May 1, 1865, Charleston, South Carolina, 
Freed African Americans held a parade of 10,000 
In honor of 257 dead Union soldiers, 
whose remains they had reburied from a mass grave
in a Confederate prison camp
Although Blight (historian) claimed
"African Americans invented Memorial Day
in Charleston, South Carolina", 
In 2012, he stated in the New York Times
He "has

Smorgasbord of De-Light

Lights on the roof, in every tree.
Candy canes line the walk, come see,
old garnishments, many a kind;
can't leave any blow-up behind.

Rescue me from boughs of folly

Christmas' Decoration

Forgive me sweet, Jesus, for
Spending so much time decorating
The Christmas tree and the streets
Of my town

But

Neglecting my soul to adorn with
The words of Thy message:
To care, To love, and to help those in 
Need around!

* JUST TO WISH EVERYONE: MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Decoration Day

Dressing up in dresses
Over the knee, modesty
Always a necessary priority

Driving to the cemetery
Flowers lying on the back seat
Awaiting their time to shine

Walking past the many graves
Some older than others
All of them with stones of granite

Reading the markers 
That say just who lies there
Beneath the red clay

There aren’t many tears
These people dead and gone
Only memories lingering

Old Red Noses Decoration

Harry had a dog, Old Red
his hobby, treeing squirrels.
One day Harry’s garden was, assaulted
by squirrels with tails a’twirl.

Now Old Red didn’t tolerate
any squirrels stealing nuts;
He decided he would set straight
that squirrel’s, thieving butt.

Old red took a jump and chased
that thief with Harry’s food;
he had decided to erase
Mr. Squirrel’s stealing mood.

But, squirrels are tough rascals
Old red

The Decoration

The water-pool was 
thickly covered with
roses;
a decoration for the
marriage.
The fishes in the pool
died after some time
due to suffocation.

Some days later the
roses rotted.

Long live the
newly-weds!

Forgive me sweet, Jesus, for

Of my town

But

This Christmas!

Decoration Day

We called it Decoration Day
When I was just a kid
And up ‘til now, I never knew
Exactly why we did.

I always thought that it referred
To stripes that soldiers earned
Or stars and bars for officers, 
But that’s not what I learned.

I googled it to double-check
And found out I was wrong.
The “decorations” were for graves
And have been all

First Decoration of the Season

The beautiful wreath hangs upon the door,

 Upon the door to greet all.

All who see it will have to smile,

  Smile as they recall.

Recall how festive the season will be,

  Will be for one and all.

All it took was a wreath on a door,

  A wreath on a door in the hall.

Gifted Decoration

Gifted decoration

Bestow innocence, 
And sincerity- 
unto me.
Explode my heart,
once more and again.
Saturate me;
With ache- 
and farce.
Give charm,
on everyone
And also glee;
Reward innocence- 
and sincerity 
unto me.
