Decorations Poems - Poems about Decorations

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...

If you’re looking for yuletide cynicism here, you’re shopping in the wrong place. This is New York City’s time of year. It’s stood the test of time and it fairly sparkles, proving that the ordinary can be extraordinary. With the right lighting. Lisa’s (parent’s) apartment glitters like our promised heaven on high. When we left at Thanksgiving, Michael (Lisa’s dad) had the...

Santa Claus is coming. This isn’t a luck situation. He knows things, like if you’re sleeping. Which is kind of creepy if you think about it. I suppose I’m an open book. It’s an implacable reality. oops, better rhyme something.. let’s see.. “Santa, that elf commanda will bring you all a panda fresh from the jungles of Uganda straight to your verandah” Whew.. art is hard...

I am holding again the tattered boxes of Christmas decorations inherited from my mom and grandma, they are old and fragile and full of memories, I touch each one with love and respect, I have never changed the boxes, they remain ragged as always, as if they were just put away by mom and grandma, so tenderly, and I...

This time of the year when the cannas sadly droop, Ma is saving kitchen scraps from recent repasts for a hearty winter soup, and decorations go up. Too early I think with the Christmas ornaments for commercial purposes slighting Halloween and Thanksgiving gatherings. I shall complain bitterly. No one will listen! Some say I am Mister Scrooge I can stand only so much happiness and joy, cash registers dinging loud facing the...

My neighborhood is decorated with festive lights, Large inflatable santas, snowmen, and nativity scenes Glittering plastic icicles drip from front porch eaves, A wide-eyed Martian would wonder what it all means. A Frosty the Snowman, as big as a Greyhound bus, Is bobbing and weaving, to and fro, with dramatic flair There is even a gigantic sleigh with eight huge reindeer On...

Christmas The decorations are up and the tree is lit The turkey is croaked and the sprouts are split The tellies warmed and the bar is open It’s Christmas again I've got my gift token The wife’s supine trying out her yoga mat My favourite films on, but we can’t find the cat I don’t want nothing, literally got it all I am...

A spotlight casting green and red, swirling on the front of a house, really confuses the poor dog at night when he has to go out. A retro tree, with fifties flare, hoops of white light against the dim, speaks to fictional simple times when the world didn’t seem so grim. LED fringe of icicles, drooping down just under the eaves, festive, yes, but not...

Make us laugh and bring some cheer Some of the yards will be quite frightening And some will be most enlightening Shedding some light on Halloween And what it truly means Witches,...

The wooden skull and pumpkins Dangle neatly by the door. The ghost and owl made of felt Add much to the decor. The cat and witch are wishing all A Happy Halloween And soon a jack-o-lantern will Give credence to the scene. The skeleton quite jauntily Holds court while on his perch. The scary part was finding them From last year - what a search!...
