Festive centerpiece
Orange is its pure essence
With candles burning
Flowers of season abound
An autumn full ensemble

alone she stands having weathered the fall
bulldozers claimed her comrades...
soon a mall’s centerpiece

how about
the sparkling centerpiece
of a twinkling day
winking at me 
through eyes unseen
   but felt
warmly, on my bare shoulder
heaven shudders
      and so does my body...

A Thought For Today
By: Miracle Man

Always give God your best, making patience your centerpiece,
Most failures are linked to a shortage of faith, and elbow grease.

digging for tiny 
seashells beneath wooden piers
i found a sharks tooth
a perfect centerpiece for-
the necklace I will create

Dogwood
Full of blossoms
Blushing pink against green
Petals of four crowd slight branches
Summer flowers reign birthright of season
Grace a vase as the centerpiece
Creates smiling dimples
Unique beauty

the crate is ready to carry out, to bury in your basement, garage or attic.

will you wonder, seek it, display on your mind?

a spectacular centerpiece hidden until next time.

is this your jack in the box Jesus?

 You are not the stars.
You are the Moon.
You are the centerpiece;
a painting that canvases the night sky.

I am a wolf's howl;
a desperate call through the dark.
I am longing paws clinging to forgotten earth.
I am forever chasing the Waxing Moon. ...

Emotion.
                                                 Raw, subtle
                                                 Shifting, pulsing, transforming
                                                 A centerpiece of soul.
                                                 Human....

Throughout these unusual times,
May your hearts remain giving and kind.
And truly for us it has meant so much
That through these years, you have kept in touch.
So our wish to you is good health and peace,
And that the reason for this blessed season remains your family’s centerpiece....

The shine on his shoes
  The shine on his car
The shine on his face
  ~ shines like a star

His suit freshly pressed
  His pants perfect crease
His shirt sports no wrinkles
  ~ sharp tie's centerpiece

His teeth fairly sparkle their pearliest white
  He looks oh-so-sharp ~ his future is bright...

as we fall with the world
i want us to die holding the heart of the other
we will always have our memories
love will forever be our Divine Centerpiece
let us cherish every memory and brace ourselves for the inevitable
forgiveness is like mistletoe with little cross windchimes
i hope to see you on the other side of the gates...

Here's the checklist for a romantic night your Juliet won't forget this coming season of love!

6 musicians of the night

5 danseurs under the moonlight

4 crimson roses on the centerpiece

3 scented letters sealed with a kiss

2 wine glasses filled with love that's true

and...

1 reason for the special night; that is...you!...

Drive Through Nativity Scene


We headed to a drive through nativity in town!
Comprises all the symbols of that great event.
With colored lights that elevate the soul.
Mary, Joseph and Jesus, the centerpiece!
Camels,sheep,and the manger.
The Star of Bethlehem.
So spiritually symbolic
Holy night
Christ

    A faded photo of his father
       all that’s left of the man 
    A centerpiece in his son’s home
       on the mantle it stands

    The creases in the photo
       match those on his face
    His legacy, hard labor
       ~ lifelines to trace

mint green Christmas and
star shaped poinsettias point
at the golden hour

red plant revelry
and hoot owl's quiet in snow
mauve sun is setting

pretty centerpiece
where loved ones gather laughing
joy of the season

the scarecrow leaning
calls to mind the songbird days
in burgundy hat

celebrating Him
and jack frost is at the door
flower of christmas

*Inspired by the photo from the internet


Through blades of grass, sun's centerpiece
Shines brighter, watching light increase
Thoughts get sharper, mind is more clear
With globe in my hands, all is near
Still reflections, enough to walk
With words of truth, now I can talk
Along this peaceful lake shoreline
There's no-one here, the world is mine

Christmas courts contentment, cheer
Contributes comfort, comity-
Commingling with the coming Christ.
Can celebrate with caroling,
Church choir chanting, candlelight.
Create commitments to cherish
Connection conceived with Christ.
Christmas cards and caring confirm
Charity, compassion, closeness-
Culled core of Christmas centerpiece.

Whoever came up with the bagel
  was a right-smart clever fellow
His brainstorm surely ranks up there
  with taste treats like pudding and jello

For I'd never put toppings on pudding
  like lox, tomatoes or cream cheese
And who would think of serving jello
  with an assortment of delicacies

So, a doff of the cap and three cheers
  for that purely anonymous soul
the centerpiece of whose discovery
  was quite an ace in the hole...

Look at how the power the Power Shifts
It's all smoke and mirrors
And every hour here
I learn to value the precious seconds


Well the centerpiece of my topic is enterprize
Please don't enter the gates of simple minds
And the middle might---___Fall out and stiil the light
Well I guess I don't know nothing about Power shifts then//////////
Well we'll see in the Spring when the flowers are blooming\\\\\\\\\\

It's amazing how darkness and lights can have so much beauty
to be surrounded by it
to see everything in working order

A bridge connecting the two lands
the light-house over-looking the ocean
the lights lining the shore
the ferry boats surrounded by their own brightness
and the centerpiece of the glowing tower

You feel the darkness and excitement of those dark roads
feeling like you were free
I just wish someone was there to share it with me...

Subtle Rhyme

our lovely earth is a petty hell,
ironic at some times,
cos most are  suffering, and do tell,
depending,  how much they whine,
nastiness is all about, 
and flows like red, red, wine,
wake up  to dull grey roses,
now paying for your crime,
so subtle is the chime,
a subtle hell of rhyme.... 

Don

ah yet the times of love they linger ,
upon the screen of happiness,
the centerpiece has the soulful singer,
of love so sweet and tenderness…....
