Auld Lang Syne

Christmas tree twinkles
ornaments shine
we're missing some
tears glisten
when I remember

Preparing For Auld Lang Syne

I must forget
so as to replace
the face
on the streets,
without contempt.

Start the new
fresh and already accomplished....

January Haikus

Singing Auld Lang Syne,
Cheering and kissing strangers;
Tomorrow, to work.

Comes in with a cheer;
Intentions, resolutions
Forgotten next year....

GOOD THOUGHTS

Singing Aud Lang Syne was a fad
Everyone singing was very glad
Thinking of the times that past
Hoping that the good times last
My good thoughts were of my dad...

Ta maga to met lang di odom ay kaseseg-ang 
No baken sika ay manang

Month of Glad Tidings

There is beauty to be found in December snow,
drifting upon the wind, where gentle breezes blow.
A month of glad tidings; wreaths of holly and pine.
To memories, we sing farewell in 'Auld Lang Syne.'...

Happy New Year

Herald the new
Auld Lang Syne
Party late
Pile your plate
Your glasses raised.

Now we see
Everyone hugging and kissing
Wishing well.

Yell and make some noise
Everything ends.
Always making, already breaking  
Resolutions....

Lang Lang

Stienway stands proudly
Fingers on ivory 
Carressing, demanding, soothing
Emotion runs deep
Audience breathless, absorbing
Lost in the moment’s grandeur
Youth , with ageless talent.


Lang Lang is 26 yrs old and 
is a concert pianist....

New Year's Eve

New Years Eve,
Old Lang Syne
And all that.
And you may hear
An old lady roaming the midnight streets,
Singing at the top of her voice,
And blowing her hron to her hearts content.
One too many snowballs maybe
But don't worry 
As it's only the Hooting Nanny....

The Lang Leav Irony

I mock your verses with a sneer,
Call them basic, insincere.
Hide your books beneath my bed,
Curse the simple words you've said.

Yet in darkness, truth comes clear:
Your pain and mine, they mirror near.
Each criticism that I throw
Masks the feelings that we know.

Days of Auld Lang Syne

You'll live inside my memory book
Sometimes I'll go back and look
Your image there won't fade away
A thousand years sharp as today

At one-o-five (105) if I'm still here
I'll open up that book so dear
And write through hands that then will shake
One last poem for old time's sake...

Happy New Year !

Happy New  Year!
Time will tell.
What lyes ahead
Come toll the bell.

Kiss your love.
Eat pork and kraut.
Sing "Auld Lang Syne."
Throw troubles out.

Make resolutions.
Add the old.
Pray for peace.
God make us bold.

Happy New Year!
As the bells do call.
Ringing in
New Hope for all....

With you snoring gently beside me,
With the soft ticking clock close by,
I feel so much love envelop me,
My eyes well up, and I cry
Soft, quiet tears are running,
Into my neck and ears,
I feel so blessed to have you,
May this be for years and years!

happy annivesary Alan, lang may we prosper!...

Auld Lang Syne

On a narrow street of Singalong
  spreads and banners hang along
Wreaths of subjects and icon
  flourish within the alleys of lexicon.

As acid waters plunge, 
  dirt and dust lounge.
Tin roofs clang, rants and rats run.

Not all streets boom with a bang
  Only in the street of auld lang syne....

Happy New Year!  As the bell does call.

Ringing in,  New hope for all....

Thanksgiving

My festive home is looking fine,
With Christmas stockings hanging there,
The Easter bunny in a vase,
And spooky spiders on the chair.

Some birthday cards beside the clock,
A valentine for ‘someone dear’,
A CD playing Auld Lang Syne:
I decorate just once a year.
