"May is the month of promise and the sweet beginnings of summer." - Unknown
The month of May,
holds many promises.
For mothers,
they have their very special day.
For the graduate,
a new life is emerging.
Memorial day,
a day to remember.
May a wonderful month,
before summer shows up.
Jingle bells adorn the sleigh.
Family ride makes the holidays delightfully merry.
Blankets shield us from the cold.

I am grateful this holiday season…
or for any time spent in the arms of my family…
So when they say upon leaving…”See you soon.”
I can answer…not soon enough for me.
Family Visit
Highway destination
Christmas presentation
Roll out smile
Reflecting back while
Baltimore being my arrival
Thinking on a Christmas novel
Connection in togetherness
Christmas Day almost upon
Snow falls starting the holiday right
Momentum spirit
Inspirating merit
Journey on Journey on
Christmas has officially begun
Embracing love among
Merry Christmas in the Greyhound way
Peace, Joy and Blessings every step of the getaway
Happy Prosperous New Year 2026
Through the mind and enter the heart
Love surrounds and spread it in warmth
The friendly Greyhound Driver with handshake extended
Go Greyhound and let memories carry their own holiday stories for many years to come.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
behind each numbered door,
a secret~
chocolate coins
wrapped in foil,
a cinnamon bear
stiff with sugar,
a marzipan pig
snout-deep in glitter.
the rituals are precise~
peel back the perforation,
let your finger
claim the prize.
(But never peek ahead.)
by the twenty-fourth,
the grid is gutted~
a hollow cathedral
of empty windows,
where only the memory
of sweetness lingers
like tinsel.
I am grateful for understanding
during this and every holiday season
something that always gives my heart a lift…
How…when I’m searching for the ideal present
I remember
any time spent together with my family…
is already a beautiful gift.
Memories of family come back to me in droves
when the holiday season rolls around.
It's the simplest things of warmth
and togetherness that bring a smile
and flood my heart with cheer.

So much to look forward to
yet, for many, so much to dread
The turkey with all the trimmings
the family gathered together --
to fight over ‘party’ politics
or gorge themselves on ‘football pleasure?’ ...
Is it a chance to praise this nation’s humble beginnings
or to cleave us further asunder with senseless sinning
C’mon, America: Isn't Thanksgiving for praising the Lord
for recounting the finest qualities of humanity ~
Not for watching football, getting drunk or stoned
insulting and embarrassing each other, and other insanity
Homespun holidays around the corner
Closeknit loving bonds with family and friends
Time for orchestrating precious memories

Holiday celebrations now start
As Christmas carols chime with delight
Marking long yuletide thanksgiving feast
That vanquishes dearth's attack…
Yes, our family yearns for reunion-bliss
Blest with God's love until New Year comes.
Halloween
blackish, villainous
haunting, frightening, chilling
jack-o-lanterns, treats, gifts, christmas lights
rejoicing, lightening, wrapping
cheerful, enjoyable
Christmas
balsam scented room
candelabra glowing red ~
festive spectacle
red bubble tree lights
dance amongst silver tinsel~
an old-fashioned flare
laughter and chatter
warm the home with joyful cheer~
holiday party
sweet savory scents
inviting holiday feast~
edible presents
diamond ring surprise
an enchanting engagement~
holiday magic
newborn in velvet
cradled by his grandmother~
celebrated life
May we be blessed as we celebrate this holiday season
with many future ones with which to compare them
as well a multitude of friends and family
with whom we get to share them.
Mulled Cider Memories
Santa Claus sees what we
are doing.
We rejoice in grandly...
snow-shoeing.
And, oh we do love our hot,
mulled cider.
Especially next to a warm, cozy,
fire!
Christmas tunes joyfully fill many
a home.
Friends an relatives here, who do
Love us ..and do not roam.
We love each other for who we, as
individuals, truly are.
Freedom lovers, we, one and all,who
sing beneath silver, Christmas stars.
Speaking our truths, behind wreathed
ribboned, decorated doors
Bright eyes that sparkle, arms that hold.
True love carved, in poetic, holiday gold.

All through the forest
A holiday to commence in marvelous
It’s the Christmas trees stance
They will soon dance
A Christmas Carols are Sang
Togetherness being among
The music tempo is circulated up
Dazzle Christmas lights
All shining brightly at night
The Christmas trees are now in formation
It is a lovely creation
All this is happening outdoors
Snow begins to fall
What a way to start the holiday for all
Imagine and dream
The Christmas Trees are all in assembly
Dancing around each other
In distance of glitter is a frozen stream
The Christmas Trees are dancing on cue
They are giving the Christmas preview
Talent at its best
Dazzle of life
The start of Christmas has turned out nice.
