On the twelfth day of Christmas, 
My true love penned for me:
Twelve odes quatrain-ing
Eleven haiku chain-ing
Ten lines dizain-ing

Nine rhymes a'riddling
Eight tongues a’twisting
Seven tyburns burning
Six trifalls falling
Five etherees

Four appalling puns
Three French songs
Two terza rima
And a pantoum
as a parody....

L-et Sunday evening pass, 
U-nderneath the black sky; 
I-t will take a needed rest, 
J-ust to make teardrops dry. 
I-t's a beautiful dawn, breaking to warm your heart; 
E-arly light shines above, as the dark shadows depart. 

M-isty Monday morning 
I-s turning lovely and bright; 
L-et twelfth day December 
A-im to replace the 
N-ight....

N-ever let your faith falter 
E-ven if the night is blue; 
L-et the new dawn break, 
L-et the beacon shine on 
Y-ou. 

P-ouring heavy raindrops 
A-re dark, black and gray; 
I-nclement clime will fade 
N-ovember twelfth day. 
A-llow your trust to glow, 
G-reat love must not waver; 
A-im and hope for sunshine, never let your faith falter....

A-bove there's a shining star, 
R-adiance sparkles so bright; 
N-ight turns into new day, 
E-vening shadows into
L-ight.

V-ile weather turns fine
E-very twelfth day of May; 
R-ain has just disappeared, 
C-old chill drifts into gray.
E-arly morn has broken, 
L-anes are blue up high; 
E-ven the dark wants to see
S-hining star in the sky....

On the twelfth day of Christmas
My true love sent to me:
Twelve lotus pinching,
Eleven surgical gauzes,
Ten boxes of advil,
Nine cheating photos,
Eight tissue rolls,
Seven colorful beehives,
Six facebook dislikes
Five red sea snakes,
Four French novels
Three black roses
Two sleeping pills
And a pink round coffin.

On the twelfth day of Christmas 
My ex she gave to me
Twelve migraine headaches
Eleven bags of my clothes
Ten pics of her new guy
Nine nasty messages
Eight early morning phone calls
Seven stupid emails
Six  sarcastic compliments
Five ---lawyer ---bills
Four flattened tires
Three kids to feed
Two trips to court
And a divorce to finally free me

K-ind weather will show up, 
A-fter you rise from slumber; 
R-aindrops never fall 
E-very twelfth day 
N-ovember. 

R-ugged wind will soften 
O-nce the beacon begins to rise; 
M-ist and haze will fade 
U-nderneath the blue skies. 
A-llow your woes to vanish, 
L-et your heart feel fine; 
D-ark night will pass by, 
O-nce the sun starts to shine....

L-ove God with all your heart, 
Y-our soul and your mind; 
N-ever turn away from Him, He shall never leave you behind. 

C-herish God with all your heart, 
O-n the twelfth day of May; 
N-ever lose your true faith, 
D-on't let your love fade away. 
E-ver since your life began, the Father's blessings also start; 
S-imply because you are chosen, love God with all your heart....

One day in early may
three children at play
mama turned papas way
and said we're drifting away 

they'd been together for years
they've shared, shed many tears
but now their end was near
this was papas worst fear

all through their divorce
papas voice was coarse
giving in without much force
half of everything, of course

this day in early May
was papas downfall they say
his heart stopped, their he lay
on the twelfth day
a Tuesday...

     "12 Days of Christmas Craves"



On the twelfth day of Christmas
My true love sent to me
12 twinkling tiaras

Eleven emerald elephants

Ten Tiffany trinkets

Nine naughty negligees

Eight echoing elves

Seven sequined stars

Six sexy singers

Five fake fingernails s s s

Four furry foxes

Three tingling tamborines

Two turtledoves

And peach tree in pail via e-mails s s s.
