Long Hanukkah Poems

Honey. 
A question.

One?

For now.
Subject to chain-reaction change.

As long as we're clear
about our lack of restraining rules.

Quite so, dear.
I'm wondering about that line
"Jesus is the reason
for the Season."
What was the reason

I mean,
Joseph and Mary

HANUKKAH
Festival of Lights/ Feast of Dedication,

As a kid, Hanukkah
was the Jewish replacement for Christmas,
But even better!

Which meant eight presents!
It was the festival of lights

We ate latkes or potato pancakes, 
We Played...

Advent of waiting

for 2020 to end
for 2021 to begin
for Christmas
for Hanukkah
for a new federal healthcare administration
for an old misogynistic maladministration to leave

We've all sung that song and know all of their names,
And the ninth one, that Rudolph,
With the bright shiny nose,
But this poem is not about any of those.

Upon Discovering A Wishbone...
(to late for Hanukkah)

I attach very
little value, nee doubt
to farfetched linkedin
phenomena brought about
when breaking off

the larger section
of a wishbone,
sans effortless knockout,
my dominant hand
did hold out,

while yours truly pretended
to freak out
with a playful
twist...

Hanukkah, A Jewish Holiday

Hanukkah, lighting lights.
Gather near; blessed night.
Give to God all thanks with heads bowed.

Thanks to God. Holy God. ...

When the outside temp is hotter than Hell

Gone for so long.
For him I pray.
He joined the core,
Fighting a war,
Somewhere far away.
He promised me he's return.
When the Hanukkah candles burn.
So, here i wait.
The blessings I recite.
By the candle light.
But its getting...
