Wake me up when September ends
And autumn’s breath chills white wind
Closing denim door on Summer’s heat
With delightful crisp air of fall breeze
I had a summer I wish to forget
The pain of lost love and red regret
It was a fling that began with spring
I believe in love but love is a dream
So another holiday I’ll spend with me
Not something I hate until winter’s freeze
But that’s welcoming seasons of change
Divorcing summer and heat stroked brain
Putting a log in brick fireplace so warm
And dust off novels to read that charm
Not giving up on love that’s a thrill
But taking time to love me I feel
So this winter I want silver solitude
I’ll write as therapy find my teal truth
Listen to my mahogany favorite tunes
Dancing alone at home in my birthday suit
Jingle bells adorn the sleigh.
Family ride makes the holidays delightfully merry.
Blankets shield us from the cold.

decorations down
little faces at window
tinsel trail to curb
Delightful music fills the air
Evergreens dressed in holiday tinsel
Christmas is around the corner
Everyone is busier than ever
Multitude of things to do
Baritones and sopranos sing familiar carols
Eating yule log and cookies is encouraged
Reaching for eggnog and mistletoe that's hung
Powdered sugar atop the village.
Sweetened memories guaranteed throughout this year's holidays.
Home is where magic happens.

Holiday Fun Limerick contest- Santa, Frosty, Rudolph or Elf - set of 3 Poetry Contest
Tania Kitchin
Frosty's eyes began to dance for his date
He had plans and didn't want to be late
There be dinner and a show
And perhaps a bed of snow
So he sang a tune and hurried his gait
His midnight hour starts at a neighbor's yard
There she stood for him, all regal and starred
They planned to sled far away
And watch the moon and stars sway
And, well, share a Frosty and his trump card
Frosty thought he had set the best-laid plan
For their lovemaking began to trans span
The heat made their bodies melt
And soon their demise was dealt
Frosty had died a jolly good snowman
Frosty was tired of his old carrot nose
And that it drooped down daily when it froze
He replaced it with a pen
But too soon it leaked and then,
He was covered in blue to his elbows
Jack Frost wanted to have a hot pink drink
Not worried it may make the snowflakes stink
He downed a hot toddy,
Left him feeling shoddy
Snowflakes are now falling tiny and pink
The Christmas elf wanted to try to sing
But his voice could only jingle and ping
He threw himself down,
His voice made no sound
He could only make his jingle bells ring

bare are trees’ branches
except for random pine trees
wearing Christmas lights
Fun holidays that I adore -
so swiftly do they slip away
and always leave me wanting more.
Fun holidays that I adore -
they always make my spirit soar.
Gone soon will be my holiday.
Fun holidays that I adore -
so swiftly do they slip away.
summer is long gone;
though Christmas, Thanksgiving, and
happy New Year’s Eve
fill dreary days with brightness . . .
two months of winter remain
There's a graying in the morning sky
Soon snowfall will cover hills and fields
A perfect setting for this holiday season
Winter white glowing 'neath a silver moon
Waiting for the sounds of children's laughter
Hot Sun whispers 'Go out and play.'
your spirit cannot disobey
it's a piece of the Milky Way
The darkest day, the darkest day;
Colored stars ignite a long night,
poetry the softest sound bite;
Peace is now colored chestnut white;
Follow the light, follow the light.
frigid winds
slice through
forlorn survivors
vicious viruses
infect
silently
ignoble trolls
incinerate
merrily
loitering crowds
frolic
mindlessly
tis the season

force-fed
forgettable
FOLLY
It snowed last night which pleased me - but hardly enough - it just teased me.
The thin, white sheet of snow looked bright and fresh
the dull, browned hedges of fall became holiday dressed,
the air had a sharp, chill perfume and the ground a new, sparkling flesh.
Lisa, a New Yorker who knows snow, gawked at me as if I were insane,
“You’re excited by NOTHING,” she sarcastically complained.
I replied, “When it snows there’s a quiet solace, and the world looks clean and flawless.”
The weatherman is promising us a blanket of snow this weekend
and that would be nice, a storm of ice, to lock us in as the week ends.
Carols chiming on the village green
Light snow adding to the atmosphere,
Bustling shoppers complete the scene
It’s easy to see the holiday is here,
With children laughing, anticipating
A midnight visit from jolly old St. Nick
In the park young folks are ice-skating,
So many activities, take your pick.
Sledding down a slope is my choice
Then, hot chocolate and a huge bonfire,
While happy carolers raise their voice
All tuckered out, I’m ready to retire.

WINTER IN PARIS
It’s winter in Paris and the streetlamps are alight
Couples walk along the Champs Elysee every night
They wander in and out of the cafes here and there
They have a cappuccino and they drink it with great flair
The artists in the daytime are painting up a storm
The cars in all the traffic are honking on their horns
At the Eiffel Tower lights brighten up the sky
People from around the world are always walking by
Paris when it’s snowing is a winter wonderland
Lovers smile and laugh while they’re walking hand in hand
You can get on board a boat and travel on the Seine
If once is not enough you can do it all again
Wintertime in Paris, there’s so much to see and do
The only problem is, it’s very hard to choose.
The hills that once were gold and red
Are now a deep gray and barren instead,
Awaiting the first drape of winter’s white
Snow, or ice crystals sparkling in the light,
When they become a fairyland of fantasy
A sleigh ride through the bowered canopy,
Headlining the holiday season’s pageantry
Like on Christmas cards a frequent sight
A walk in the frosty hills is such a delight
Or bundled tight for a ride on a bobsled,
Steaming chocolate, and a warm cozy bed.
