disguised angels carolers-
music warmed my soul...

carolers
help my soul up
always
their songs reverberate
and loosen my skin...

hanging the holly –
scent of cookies

twinkling lights
on the spruce –
carolers

Can’t you hear the carolers near?
Children are giggling, a good new year!...

Reach November for December
the bird has gone to soup.

Ain’t no need to hang around;
the carolers are aggrouped.

The reindeer are excited
Children are joyful
Christmas Eve is finally here!
Singing carolers
Lively church bells are ringing
Birthday for baby Jesus...

 Feliz Navidad, carolers sing so fare
 Smell of Tamales, Posole, red chile fill the air
 Christmas eve, luminarias all a glow
 Spirit and magic of Christmas in New Mexico...

London collapses
trains, planes, and automobiles
trapped and flash-frozen emplace 

Christmas lights still bright
If one ventured through the night
ghost carolers in the mews...

Carolers singing "Rudolph the red nose reindeer"
as sounds of jingling bells float through the air
It was Christmas Eve and she felt the crush
While last minute shopping in the Yuletide rush...

Cheerful celebration,
Christ child is born this day.
Chubby man in red suit,
Comes giving gifts away.
Children get excited,
Carolers spread good cheer.
Christmas comes once a year

snow frost on windows
aware of santas footprints
hearing the sleigh bells

cinnamon cookies
sneaking licks of sweet icing
carolers voices

everyone fancy
hugging favorite cousins
feast on the table...

Someday. In old age.
My well-being will be in the hands of: 
Underpaid cutters and x-addicts 
serial texters and sadists
tide pod eaters-assorted derelicts
the odd minister, 
lost Christmas carolers...

I pray to remain somewhat fit....

we sing because we can
it is fun fun fun
our song gets out of hand
so better run, run run

in December we sing loud and proud
in yards, to a few, or to a crowd
we are the Christmas carolers so hear us shout
Our amazing nostalgic Christian carols out...

SNOW AND MORE SNOW

      snowing…
   in the obscurity
      this flash of blue

   snowy night
     one color
        white

   silent night
   carolers in the snow
   chimney smoke

   new year’s eve
                late snowfall
   horns downtown...

Christmas season
Bells are ringing
Carolers are singing
Snowflakes fall
Birds fly away
Lights are bright.
You are right 
It's Christmas time.
Stores are open
People are shopping
Children are playing
People are saying
MERY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR....

Christmas is Coming and No One Can Stop It

Christmas is coming
and no one can stop it!!!!
Church bells are ringing
“black pots” are swinging
loud carolers singing
cold red cheeks stinging
everyone wondering
just what is He bringing.

The carolers came out of barns, sheds, houses, and out from under rocks.
They climbed out of baskets, boxes, barrels, and striped Christmas socks.
They came running to sing, and they made the prettiest sound of all.
But the audience began running away when we gave the mouse call....

The wind chill is thirty-two degrees below zero in Chicago
Snow is being pushed around by plows that are burying cars
The wind off the lake is adding to our discomfort, but taxis are moving
Marshall Fields is open, and there are Christmas carolers
Gorgeous nativity scenes light up windows...

bleak
Christmas
is nearing,
bells are ringing,
young carolers singing from door to door
yule joyful hymns in moonlit crisp air night
a nascent dawn
with anxious
laughter
sounds

there
a tree
full of hope
grandchildren thrilled.
without you, a soul that feels so hollow.

Peppermint princess so striped and pretty
Decorated the Christmas shelf though she was bitty
Carolers came by and sang songs in her honor.
Elves wandered by, fell in love, one was a goner.
Who designed her? The other dolls wondered in amazement.
She was so gorgeous, they wished she was down in the basement....

Lacy snow crystals like a cozy duvet
Cover the ground in winter splendor,
I hear the Christmas carols as they play
On my front lawn, carolers; I will render
Hot chocolate from a local vendor.

Silver streaks of zingy songbirds 
and choral trills.

Orioles in Scarlet -
gorgeous carolers of
dawn canzonet with a sapphire score.

Rich viol spells of melodic melody
they engulf my twisted skysill
featuring lavender gold and
honeyed agate spring odes
silky lilac skylight accents....

   From Silver Bells to Silent Night
     Christmas just wouldn't seem right
       without the carolers 

   Colored lights amidst the snow
     Hearts aglow help melodies flow
       to the music of the carolers

   Spirits soar, holiday-inspired
     a spectacle we all admire ~
       thanks to the carolers

C oronation of lights
H eralding holiday rites
R inging bells guests invite
I llumined halls festivities incite
S ongs of carolers enliven dark night
T ales of Christmas ghosts by candlelight
M aterial aspirations pocketbooks slight
A ltruistic gestures to those with poorer plight
S piced nog, decorative cookies palates delight...

they herald the sweet season
like blooms herald spring
while carolers' chorus sounds

angels are singing as well
in moonlight, upon a cloud
joy is everywhere

the bells remind us
of the love from up above
jingle jangle zest
