Premium Member Animal Magpie

Listen to poem:
Magpies bring in the dawn
singing fluted chorales
to flock, friends and passers by.
They know friendly faces
in their congregation
carolling, warbling along.

Do You Hear What I Hear, Question Mark

The carol singers at my door,
I greeted them with tone deaf song,
My hand outstretched, they shuffled off:
I didn’t get a quid – what’s wrong?

Do you hear what I hear? For Kim’s Carolling contest

X-Mas Fragrance.

Colors of roses,
  Bliss of cherries.

 The carolling bells,
   Smiling candles.

 Herd heroes excited,
   Sombre flowers lighted!

 Snow angels flying,
   Silky stars shaking!
 
 Heavenly love,
   Bloom at night !!

Holiday Rain

Traffic is slow.
In the drizzle
the holiday crowd complain and grizzle.

Magpies and currawongs are carolling.

The morning is silvery now.
A heavy sky bends down,
dropping diamonds 
wetly on the ground.

Mounds and hills will grow emerald grasses.
Rain sings the treasure of life as it passes.

Hibernation of Christmas

Festive firs are tumbling
bare of coloured glory.
Needles and fronds carpet
halls grey with silence;
carolling a distant joy.
Gifts rest in hibernation;
wingèd figurines lie swathed
beneath a glittered duvet
of prized iridescent tissues
adorning a winter casket
keeper of twelve days
festooned in priceless reverie.


Christmas Without a Tree

No carolling minstrels
No sparkles or tinsel.
The Grinch has a lot of good points.

Just, “how bloody awful
To not have some baubles.”
Bah! Scrooge would be proud of this joint.

My carols are wails
During holiday sales
I'll do just fine here without her.

My sparkles are tears
Every damn year
That I tossed out her favorite old Conifer.
