Black Skies Sparkle with  bright light!
Church Bells ring,Ding!Dong!Ding!
Chores of angels  ,start to sing!
Merry Christmas!Everyone!

as We thank this New Born Boy,
He is...

(A Christmas Collage) 

The sun has set and night is stealing
Softly o'er the silent land,
While snowflakes slowly down are falling,
Shaken from an unseen hand.

To the top of Thorburne Tower
Light from windows streams around;
The glow of...

Of tinsel, garland and wreath's so fair.
Of hundreds of bulbs upon a tree,
With twinkling lights and angel hair.

A festive time with thoughts of Santa Clause,
Of jingle bells, and distant...

The time has come to string the lights and decorate the tree,
Fix-up the barn an' house a mite for all the folks to see,
Cause Christmas time's around the bend, an' Santa's underway
A-makin' toys for girls...

"The wait is over
Northern wind whistles carol
Christmas in the air." - Quote by Poet

Tickling their tummy's with tinkling bells that twinkle
sounds rumbling upon the roof of eight tiny reindeer
tangled lights and snow transforming a sparkling night
a flickering fire with sparks floating with loves desires

Casting a spell with dreams...

Rudolph's nose shines frosty bright,
Relations will be cool this night
He raps a hoof on Santa's door
And says we feel we should earn more

If we're to work on Christmas day
We must insist on double pay
And if...

Now let me share my shivery story, 
With random revelations shed some light -
Though I’m a dazzling glow but no glory, 
I’m much more than white mesmerising sight. 

I know around the globe I’m frowned...

There was a time
not so very long ago
when clopping horses
and sighing sleighs
and paddle splashing canoes,
and then, later, trains
and electric streetcars
were the resounding heart
of multicultural transportation.

And local newspapers
with indigenous, 
perennially planted village editors
among ecoschooled
one-room patriarchal chiefs
competed...

WINTER WONDERLAND

The snowmen line the silent street at night.
Their bright smiles gleam with frozen teeth of stone.
Until the crackle of a bunny’s light —
its paws so sweetly greet the dark alone.
His fluffy fur, does mimic,...

Christmas dreams


A whole year long wait,
and Christmas is here,
Cheerful faces and dancing gait,
Must enjoy its fragrance in the air !

Santa to our dream as we exactly thought,
Promises that were done for...

Written to the tune of "Jingle Bells"

Here in Florida,
We don't get any snow,
We don't have sleighs to ride,
But we do have mistletoe!

For a little Christmas jaunt,
We'll drive 'round after dark,
To view the Christmas-lighted homes,
And displays...

My long wait has ended in delight 
Merry Christmas time is in sight 
The northern wind blows chilled 
In the frosty December ambiance
Sun-starved day fades away 
at the edge of the cold night.

Rugged mountain peaks are now snow-capped
Wintry weather creeps down with passing days,
The lips on the blossoms are faded and chapped.

Many of the larger critters are sadly trapped,
For they have not adjusted to our urban ways

~Snow Globe Splendor~

A misty fog escapes my mouth 
each time I exhale warming my 
cold lips
As I breathe a coldness fills  
my lungs with a pine freshness

The powdery snow embraces

Twin, silver cathedral bells, sway and chime.
As every note peals out, clear and sublime.

No winds blow through the sky, this silent night.
The peaceful heavens, filled with a celestial light.

Arm in arm, down the icy lane...

Lost and alone walking down an icy road
Sleighs wiz by splashing water on his new elf suite
Looking through decorated Christmas windows
Searching for a note from Santa leading him back

To the North Pole

Christmas Tree

Little bits of silver tinsel,
Velvet ribbons and shiny globes,
Strings of stars borrowed from the heavens
Next to angels with golden hair;
Flying sleighs and drummer boys,
Sweet candy canes and satin bows
Hang from boughs of fir or...

it's that time of year
when people temporarily 
cloak their monsters
in a half foot of dirty snow 
when people give to strangers
half-ignoring their own
but their children still glow 
like Christmas bulbs under a thin frost...
They'll not...

Winter is so cold, snow is on the ground,
sky is looking grey bare trees all around.
Leaves have fallen there's a cold breeze in the air,
pretty glowing snowflakes are fluttering everywhere.
People building snowmen and having a...
