Are you ready for Christmas?

Take time out for each other.
New life to share.
Get ready for the holidays.
Walk through the tunnel of lights.
Walk on the...

Winter SnowWinter Snow
The view is breathtaking.
With snow flurries.
Christmas is the best time of the year.
Cooler weather is near.
Love sitting by the fire.
Fun events transpire.
Watch the snow fall.
The smell of brewed coffee aroma.
The lights are glimmering.
The night...

The Night Of Halloween
Walking down a street alone;
You feel a coldness in your bones.
Leaves falling to the ground;
Behind your back a creepy sound.
Crows, owls and scary things;
Make you fear and go insane.
You walk much faster and then you...

Yuletide Season Is HereThe 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...

The Fairmile Guest HouseWe arrived early at the Fairmile
We’re welcomed by Jason’s warm smile
He made a pot of tea
For my hubby and me
I’m happy we’re staying a while!
Our bedroom was spotlessly clean
And as for the breakfast cuisine
The huge...

The Shofar from the StreetI rarely go to temple,
Though when New Year comes around,
I do not feel complete until
I hear the shofar’s sound.
Some synagogues stream services;
I listened for a while,
But the rabbi’s talk went on and on
And wasn’t quite...

A Fresh StartOnce a year, we toss our sins
And then we start out fresh.
I do it, even though my now-
And-then beliefs don’t mesh.
Traditions of the holidays
Are somehow still retained
Because, I guess since childhood,
They are very much...

Lantern of the Shadowed Glade :POTD:Lantern of the Shadowed Glade
In shadowed glades where spirits dwell,
Beneath the boughs of an ancient spell.
A pumpkin awaits, its fate foretold,
By tomes of old and tales untold.
Carved with care by children’s hands,
A toothy grin...

skies had turned to charcoal grey
as I grabbed my coat
walking in the rain
my mind on fiscardo bay
where its warm and dry
couldn't help dreaming
of hot grecian sun in may

Halloween
Pumpkins carved and treat’s prepared
With costumes risky as we dared
Ghostly white sheets, hats and bats
Those scary witches with their cats
Apple bobbing is a fun autumn game
So it's trick or treats that we all proclaim

October RustOctober Rust
Creepy Creatures.
Rise from the dark in fear.
Creepy old trees.
Candle lights dancing you can see.
The night is still.
Nightmares are real.
It’s an open grave.
A tombstone carved out in your name.
Haunted by night.
Owl’s stay up late in...
