Silver shimmers
reflected by the sea
When dawn kisses each
silhouetted tree.
As sunrise pierces
fleecy clouds of blush
A canvass bides the
eager artist's brush.
Our Banyon bids adieu
to fowl in flight...
Their songs reverberate
in morning light
Attesting to the joy
each dawn excites
In explosive colors
which Sol ignites.
As breezes blow through
azure skies above
I share divinely Dawn's
sweet gifts of love.

Merry Christmas (Mele Kalikimaka) from Hawaii….Aloha
Merry Christmas to all Soupers
Who write all those super-dupers
It seems my muse
Got running shoes
So pardon my silly bloopers!

ALOHA!
a lei
warmly undulates in the harbor,
scented blossoms in the surf,
welcoming each voyager
with frangipani, plumeria, shells and
haku mele. the ukulele and current
gently pulls with mellifluous undertow.
a garland aloha and hula hips
enhance each Polynesian hug
in passionate sunrise and sunset hues.

sfidare le credenza
stava bevendo
mele rosse fermentate
mondo e
ono spazio misterioso
espandere e definere
raffinare
la talpa nero
sulla sua spalla nuda
si presente como un paese
su globe
ho dimenticato
quello che e un paise
dove e il confirme
pensiero contemplare
esperimenti
avere la giusto
prospettiva
cos'e giusto che c'e
a destra si baciano
i tuoi pensieri nella baia delle
tue labre invitanti
dormiamo ora
sotto la coperta rosa strappata
Eid Milad Majid, Joyeux Noël, Frohe Weihnachten
Sheng Dan Kuai Le, Kala Christouyenna, Mele Kalikimaka
Zalig Kerstfeest, krismas mubarak , Buon Natale, Gledelig Jul
Meri Kirihimete, Mele Kalikimaka, Feliz Navidad, Merry Christmas.
Some of the ways to name a festivity that is celebrated in many countries
Of the World.
My best wishes to all the Poetry Soup poets in this Christmas is that rejoice in
The reason of the season. That the Almighty Lord spills blessings in you and your
Families. Time of the year to reflect on how you had lived this year and what you
Can change for next year. Moment to forgive and let go. That 2016 brings to you
The desires of your heart.

Mene jab-jab dekha andhera dikha
Khwab bhi mele the dhuan dikha
Mene zindagi ko jeene ki koshish ki
Jeene ka maksad bhi maut me mila
(Parth)
Wind rushes downhill
Tearing into the orchard
Apples ev'rywhere!
