"Holiday Fest At Its Best"
by Renee Denise Gross a.k.a. "Grasshopper"
Glitter, Glamour, Glitz and Spritz
Shimmer and Sparkle, oh how we marvel at all the Ritz
It's a Holiday Fest At Its Best!
Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Spiritual...
whatever your ritual, it's time to reflect, reconnect
and rejoice to be alive and revive our souls and minds
This is an awe inspiring, rejuvenating time!
Holiday songs and singalongs
messages to keep a song in our hearts
not just in December, but everyday to remember...
regarding Love, Forgiveness and Re-inventive Starts!
Now on to food, do you know what tastes good?
EVERYTHING*
There is so much to choose...
any mouth watering decadence
embraces my stomach a happy resident,
I look forward and I bet you do too!
A Fruit Cake in a Decorative Tin Bin...
Well, Ya' Know...
That's Optional! (SMILE)

Renee D. Gross Poem
STRIKE! "STRUCK" A COVER IS BLOWN...
GAME UP!~
WHAT'S UP???
MY AWARENESS... MY ENLIGHTENING...
BEING IN THE DARK IS FRIGHTENING, WOULDN'T YOU SAY, "I'LL SAY!" WHEN IN THE COMPANY OF MASKED PRETENDERS, WHO INITIALLY EXPRESS, TO IMPRESS...
OH SO TENDER AND WARM,
(A CALM BEFORE THE STORM) LURKING, LURING, BELIEVING THEY ARE SECURING, "WHO YOU ARE"
YES, A COMPLETE READ....
"MUST BE ALL IN THE STARS" AND NEXT,
GRADUALLY, STEADILY...*REAL INTENT*
PRESENTS: HERE'S THE HIDDEN GEM OF THE DAY, DID YOU CATCH THAT, "QUICK!" SUDDEN "HIT" THAT MAY HAVE OTHERWISE BEEN MISSED FROM...
BLOATED CONVEY!
NOT TODAY...
IT'S WAS NOTICED, (NOTED)
YOU SEE, HIDDEN GEMS ARE ALL AROUND US, PAY ATTENTION, LISTEN AND LISTEN CLOSELY..."THE BEAUTY OF SILENCE" IT'S DUTY TO SHINE, DIVINE BRILLIANTLY AND RECEIVINGLY, MOST IMPORTANTLY CONCEIVABLY...NO MATTER HOW MUCH ILL PREPARED OF INITIAL AUDACITY, VERY LITTLE IT WAS KNOWN...OF ANOTHER'S "BLESSED CAPACITY" TO SEE THE FLAWS...
WHAT A SHAME IT REMAINS HIDDEN TO "THEM" BUT NEVER TO ME, YOU SEE!
I SO APPRECIATE "A VALUE RECEIVED" IN PRICELESS CLARITY...
A DIAMOND DROPPED, LOOK AT ALL THE FACETS, IT'S ALSO BEEN "WORN"...
"SO OBLITERATINGLY WORN"
BUT...
JUST NOT FOR ME,
IT'S NOW A TRANSFERRED *NEW*
RADIANT RED RUBY!~ SUCH DEPTH IN HUE! "IT'S FLAWLESS!!!"
THIS ARRIVAL WAS MEANT FOR ME TO HAVE...
THIS "SPECIAL DELIVERY" read fine print, NEATLY PACKAGED, WRAPPED IN CELLOPHANE.
AS LIFE UNFOLDS...
I'VE ADDED IT TO MY CROWN OF GOLD!
EMERALDS, PEARLS, OPALS...
AND A SLOT FOR BLOOD RED RUBIES!
"PERCEPTIVELY, IT'S A WEIGHTED MEASURE...
SPIRITUALLY, IT'S LIGHT AS A FEATHER!~"
"WHAT A TREASURE TROVE" {UNHIDDEN}
RED CLAY ROCKS...FORBIDDEN.

NOSTALGIA: 70s
REMEMBER...
BOBBY SHORT originally sung the "CHARLIE" Commercial, that was one of my FAVORITES...
(Kind Of Young, Kind of Now...Charlie!
Kind Of FREE, Kind of WOW!!! CHARLIE!)
I also and still love the WINDSONG jingle...(Windsong STAYS On My Mind!) All The Time*, And I'll BUST OUT SINGING that 70s Version, in Gleeful Immersion...Never Thought I'd HEAR that again...and then came: YOUTUBE! Grooving Back In Time...
That PURITY makes my Heart Tingle*...STILL!
REMEMBER...
FREDDIE PRINZE! "CHICO AND THE MAN" OMG! Man, the CRUSH I HAD!!!! Talk about a SMILE, CHARISMA and COMEDIC TIMING, HE WAS A PRINCE IN MY MIND!!!! I Just LOVED How HE EXUDED! And The GUESTS...
JOSÈ FELICIANO and SAMMY DAVIS JR.,

REMEMBER...
"NIGHT GALLERY"...(Debuted in 1969)
A Year After the First* Year of MY LIFE...SMILE*
I Remember ROD SERLING~
(WHAT A VOICE...WHAT AN UNDERSTATEMENT!)
Those IMAGES* Were INCREDIBLE! UNFORGETTABLE! NOTHING...
FELT MORE DISTURBING* THAN SEEING THE OPENING CREDITS! UNNERVING! "TWILIGHT ZONE" BECAME MY PREFERRED WELL-KNOWN! NOW THAT I'M GROWN;
I APPRECIATE THE REMARKABLE SCI-FI SHOWN...BECAUSE I WAS B L O W N AWAY! HAUNTED, DAUNTED '"TIL THIS DAY!!!"
THE 70s...THESE ARE A FEW OF MY COUNTLESS MEMORIES...MARVELING* FROM MY YOUNGER ME!!!

E S P E C I A L L Y,
ALL THAT INTRODUCTION TO MY CHILDHOOD NOSTALGIA!

Renee D. Gross Poem
#LOVE IS...
not always blood relation, nor is it familiarity within a nation; but when it's spoken and *FELT* in Universal elation...this speaks volumes to those vibrations; we all know those whom we've known for years but that doesn't mean LOVE endears...relatives, friends, distance occurs... on estranged levels; that's NOT Love Preferred*
Do you know what to me is beautiful to receive...when you meet a few rare gems and you know without a shadow of a doubt what their character is all about...Depth, Respect, and Genuine Caring; if this is missing* this results in a dissing and no matter the status, this won't make for good Pairing...
I, myself have met strangers...where soon enough I didn't sense a danger and discernment was certainly exercised; we often forget...in the beginning that's how we ALL met and here is something that I've certainly come to realize*
When your HEART* and BRAIN* Feels Grand and your SPIRIT Understands; when it Doesn't have to EVER be Questioned...that's when you Know* that LOVE HAS NO EXPIRATION!
This Is MY Reiteration, an Important* Exclamation and One That I Stand By, Indeed...
LOVE IS...*LOVE*

#HUMANKIND...KINDNESS*
I saw a video of a Distressed MAN, standing solo with his FINAL PLAN, contemplation on that Ledge, it was Clear He'd Lost His Edge...
It was a Painful Sight to Watch, when Concluded No One Gives A Damn! Yet, Lo and Behold...People SHOWED Up and SHOUTED Out...WE LOVE YOU AND WE GIVE A DAMN!!!
They SHOWED* in their SIGNAGE* of LOVE for this HUMAN BEING...
They SHOUTED at their LOUDEST that They weren't there just for the SEEING ...
They SUCCEEDED and EXCEEDED when this Person
NEEDED LOVE and COMPASSION...
SUICIDE* KILLS THE SOUL...
STRANGERS THERE TO PREVENT* THIS GOAL...SPECTATORS, THEY CERTAINLY WERE NOT! ! ! ! !
As They SCREAMED, As They SHOUTED...
"WE'RE HERE FOR YOU, AND DON'T TAKE THIS ROUTE* YOU MATTER!!! YOU MATTER TO ME!!!"
I PRAY AS THE POLICE ESCORTED HIM DOWN THAT IN HIS HEART...
{A NEW START}
THERE LIED A TURNAROUND KNOWING PEOPLE SHOWED UP AND SHOWED OUT FOR HIM...{THAT PART}
BEFORE, A POTENTIAL LAST MOMENT, SIGH, OR BREATH...
"HE THOUGHT, THERE WAS NOTHING LEFT!"
MAY AFTERWARDS...
HE FEELS THE GRAVITY* OF THAT DEPTH!
As I Wept, I thought,
"See What LOVE and KINDNESS Can Do!!!!"
With All My Heart, I Pray That THEY...
"LOOK, TOMORROW IS A *N E W* DAY...
GOT THROUGH~~~~~!"

Renee D. Gross Poem
#Snippets,Tidbits, and Pieces minus Peace...
Flecks and Specks sprawled evenly and eventually...leaving no room for possibilities and puzzle pieces scattered haphazardly; no room for building inevitably, it's a choice, depending on a conclusive voice and it would be made known a Full understanding, of shards of discards desired to be left outstanding; BOULDERS BOLD OF TRUTH in this bit, built branding...No Tresspass* on this "BUILT TO LAST" Landing; Gated and Guarded Mentally; Let's Zoom In More...
Fragments Form Finalization For Formation
*ALL* Information Is Not Usually Deemed Necessary...On the Contrary, it Depends On *WHO* You're Talking To...Such a BROAD View Skewed and Selectively the "fine print" goes unnoticed, unobtained and UNANSWERED
In conclusion, there's no illusion on this microscopic topic and poem; just like a house is not a home that always encourages understanding beneath it's dome... pebbles and fragments forms a foundation that stands alone; peace is not a negotiation, when missing pieces has no consideration and that's what happens when snippets and tidbits holds it's own...WHOLE OUTCOMES determine those snips* of seedings that's been sewn.

Renee D. Gross Poem
#I remember once boarding a bus...and lo and behold this elderly couple sat across from me. The Lady Smiled So Tenderly...and I commented that she was an
Absolute Vision of Loveliness indeed!
It was her EYES and the LIGHT that she Emitted from Her Soul, Unlike anything I have ever seen before...and I simply FELT her GOODNESS, for I sensed Her PURENESS and as her Husband Held Her Hand With Pride...She Melted Mine Too...Because Her ESSENCE Shown Through* and her eyes Radiated and Illuminated to Shine on my paper; years later...Particularly Poignantly and Poetically Passionately:
"I Remembered HER Gleam* and my Heart remains ESTEEMED and I Deem It A Glorious Recall...HOW SHE BEAMED!!!
THE LADY WHO CAN TURN TIDES...WITH HER EYES!!!
"You wouldn't be able to take your eyes off of em', There Lied MUCH In Them!"#
