Merry Christmas To all. 3 Poems to share.


Merry Christmas to everyone.  Hope you enjoyed a wonderful Christmas Eve and share an even better Christmas day with your families.  At my house we celebrate our big get together on Christmas Eve.  It's always a big event, and it was once again this year.  I'm stuffed.  Completely ruined my diet tonight, but oh well, one day down and the rest of the year to make up for it. :)   

So, for tonight's OLN, I thought I'd try to do some Christmas blogging.  I did some Haiku, which, for those who enjoy this form, can be found over at my Wordpress site.  I made some Christmas cards over at Sqwerm, and for here, I came up with three poems.  

The first is a very abstract Christmas poem, where, without me telling you it's actually about Christmas, would most likely be difficult to figure out.  The second is a mix between abstract and straightforward and The third is straightforward.

Again, hope everyone had/will have mades some great Christmas memories this year, and thanks again for all the support, with all my sites.  Thanks.

Christmas Poem #1- Abstract 

There, upon that day. Titanium Trioxides were found,
Buried at knee-high depth, in that, the hope chest, of antithesis.

Eyes, lithe as a cantor’s range is long, intuit calm, each the melody of its psalm, sung low by cello’s voice, harnessing the third option, found in-between, life and feint. Parallel to the beams of ray-fly-fly-fly (enter harpsichord)

This restoration, where those charred sighs cringe, quenches the fatherless emotions. These are those that you always played make-believe upon, that this all, all of it, was but a side-effect of the dream you were sired from.

These singeing solemnities balm the undercoating with a cryogenically optimized lathering, scientifically known as frost.  

Upon the lamina of the blind, augmentations sear those images found therein.

And here, you remain, in frozen chains, rattling to the east and clinking to the west.  In your mind, the slightest changes ripple an effective elation within the north and bury the other 364 deeply south.

Christmas Poem #2

For tonight was an eve, like any day before.  Yet this was a prelude to a day of incomparable bounties and, for some, the birth of a Savior that will one day rise again.

Here so many dreams have already appeared to us and still, the promise of the many more yet to appear is strong. Here, you know, you just know deep inside, that those jubilations and gifted offerings will certainly come true, perhaps even in the morn, when you once again flit your eyes.  

It is a day that brings the promise of salvation, the unification of family and the hope for a better tomorrow. A blissful dream.  A cherished reality.  A day that is ever built up to.

Christmas Poem #3

The children elate so swiftly as the morning’s curtain pulls up high.  Feet scuttle to the tree, shaking presents faster than the parents can wipe the sand out of their not quite awoken eyes.

Papers are ripped and tossed aside. The pure euphoria found in these precious seconds, should be bottled and saved for those days that aren’t so bright.

For on this morning, within the children’s eyes, there you'll find, enough light to illuminate the darkest of the darkest nights.

And without even opening their own gifts, the mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters, are all filled with what this day holds dear, a joy so fulfilling it shines down many, many moments that are immediately collected and stored for all the rest of time.


D'Verse has decided to keep their doors open tomorrow for any who wish to celebrate Christmas by unwrapping presents of poetry.  I'm sure many are occupied with celebrating this day with family and friends, yet, if you find the moment or that need for poetry, then stop on by and see what gifts are under the D'verse Tree.  

Merry Christmas to all and may all of you receive every gift you could ever want and need.

Happy Thanksgiving

Well, I hope everyone is getting ready for a hopefully pleasant day with friends and family.  I hope everyone is anticipating the feast at hand, some Turkey, of course, sweet potato pie, with marshmallows for sure, some type of vegetable, corn bread or biscuits perhaps, some dressing and all though I can not for it, I know most enjoy their cranberry sauce so I'll included it too.

Anyhow, just whipped this piece up, kind of all over the place, but think I tied it together nicely midway through.  Anyways, enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving.

And for those who do not celebrate this holiday, celebrate life in your own way, as one should each and every day, where giving thanks should, of course, accompany.

A BIT OF A DIFFERENT KIND OF THANKSGIVING PRAYER


We hurt the ones we love,
Yet love the ones we hurt

Primal beast within
Suppressed desires clawing out
A variety of intention unearthed

We dream of life
Yet live in dream

We hold high the standards of the day
Yet the days are standards in themselves

We speak with tongues,
When one language would do

Higher the spirit resists its flight
The mightier the pen grows in its might
Holding back, tension mounts
And from here, plots amass in count

Rigid bylines aptly grieve
Over directions too hard to read

Soft in sections, not in all
Yet biology in and of itself,
Has sectioned each of us extremely well,

Back and forth the flag does flow
Under cloudy cover its stars do blow
Flapping frenetic in the wind
Caring little for the air that’s thin
Shining proud all it bears
Caring only for the colors that it wears

Thanksgiving—for so many things
Home, Family, Country, God
Though reign supreme, on this day of giving thanks
As we bow our heads this very day,
Before a table built by man,
And all his many ancestors,
That labored in condition and sacrifice
To make possible,
All the every fruit we share tonight

Thanksgiving,
For all that is, for all that was
For all the futures distant/near,
We pay homage and give thanks
For the gift of living out each day
And relishing in the every incongruity it brings
Those that makes us who we are
Those that show us who we were
Those that show us who we can be

Happy Thanksgiving
