....
I'd written this poem years ago.. just remembered it because we're in that season again. Beautiful for some, painful for others..... Just thought I'd put it out there again. Thanks....
Happy New Year!

New Years
Dear Holiday
Feeling the cold a little, old bones so thinking of somewhere nice and warm. Some of us will already be well ahead of the planning stage and looking forward to the day of flights.
Another sunday
Another rest day bit like a holiday for most, many spend this day in praise of the Lord or with families, friends, loved ones. Many also spend the time alone with their thoughts, maybe no home, no refuge, no tangible meaning of life but we all exist, I can eat my fill but others cannot and even having faith or not life trundles on like another Sunday.
Monster Ash
This song is a parody of Monster Mash by Tim Cavanaugh. With Ash Wednesday starting the Easter holiday, I thought it was a funny parody.
"Don't be sad"
Here goes. A race on toes. To a place I don’t know. Travelling under darkness and the sun’s glow. To a land with the taste of foreign words. Dress myself with the color of ferns. Throw away cares and concerns. Soar high, dance over clouds like

Blue sky beautiful transparent sun the wind blows through the life as the seagulls dance in the sky dipped ocean.the water as pure as rain.the kids swimming about and having fun.as the smell of fires come our way.then from day into night. Sleeping un
One More Candle
Dedicated for my Birthday.. No candle, no cake, my daughter is sick, got engaged with my job, tied on my future plan... I feel blessed for all I have so far.
Take Two: Travel - A Challenge
The mission is for us to be transported from our desk, living room or bedroom to a place we haven't been. Accompanying visuals and images most desirable and most welcome! And if you'd rather create a video to go with it..even better. Thank you once again... I'd like to see what everyone thinks... Keeping my fingers-crossed...
Eastertime
Spring in my step So soft to the touch Hug me and squeeze me You love me as much I love to be tickled I find it so funny But gently my master I'm just a wee-little-Bunny...
Easter Eggs
Colored my Easter eggs yesterday. Enjoy making them every year. I get a Betty Jane hollow bunny every year with Peeps, Cadbury eggs, and jelly beans. When I was a child I would save my chocolate bunny in the freezer and shave off some of the chocolate with a knife to make it last a long time.
Easter poem
wanted to write something.The ladies coming to the tomb and speaking with the angel was the only thing I could picture in my mind. Have a nice day all.....much love...ELO

THE END - POLITICALLY CORRECT CHRISTMAS ©
I felt much better after I got it all off my chest.... and that I made people laugh.
Aching for a bit of Adventure..
Life is an adventure... Without it Life is a grey coloured cat- suit...
Evening in an Indian Street
Spices scent the dusty winds Whistling across this narrow street Sweet meats glowing like blocks of light In the crowded shops Saree clad women walking past Gladly With eyes glowing as a ramzan crescent. Making music with their laughing bangle
Beware, Beware
Everywhere I go I am reminded as to what is coming up
Feels Like Halloween
Moon peeking through the clouds To see what's happening below Ghouls and goblins roam around And rotting mummies move so slow Witches with their brooms zoom around While ghostly specters haunt The living dead along streets shuffle Their ghas
Halloween (Cinquain)
BOO! Halloween Night some fun, before the real fun starts!
Ghost
Written on Halloween night, of course. I just took an idea I had and ran with it. I have since converted it to a song. I just realized I left a verse off. Fixed now.
I'm Thankful For
Just thinking of some of the things that entertain me. I'm still waiting for a song this year that has my interest. Royal by Lorde was my last popular song I liked, not counting Weird Al's last album.
Turkey
Turkey, Tom Turkey displayed on the table come all and eat me if your able Come and taste my breast of tender white and enjoy my meal with delight Fest on my wings, legs and thighs and later we will shop for the Christmas buys

TRINI CHRISTMAS ( Shadow's Challenge)
Well I tried to give a picture of trini Christmas...lol and still feels like I left much out.... A P.S Thanks to Socrates..... "In Trinidad, traditional parang music is largely performed around Christmas time, when singers and instrumentalists (collectively known as the parranderos) travel from house to house in the community, often joined by friends and neighbours family etc. using whatever instruments are to hand. Popular parang instruments include the cuatro (a small, four-string guitar) and maracas (locally known as chac-chacs). Other instruments often used are violin, guitar, claves (locally known as toc-toc), box bass (an indigenous instrument), tambourine, mandolin, bandol, caja (a percussive box instrument), and marimbola (an Afro-Venezuelan instrument). In exchange for the entertainment, parranderos are traditionally given food and drink: pastelle, sorrel, rum and "Ponche Crema" (a form of alcoholic eggnog)." Black cake - the main ingredients are fruits (such as raisins and sultanas) that have been soaked in cherry wine, sherry and Caribbean rum for several months before Christmas. Additional rum is poured over the cake after it has been baked. It can even make one "drunk" if eaten in large amounts.
King of Christmas * Shadow's Challenge *
A very short poem in response to Linda's challenge.
A Christmas Snow------monorhyme
A Christmas Snow The soft snow flakes fall gently coating the land, which to white is turning. Trees brushed white stand gleaming as Christmas dawns with sunlight bursting. A hush settles as people start stirring emotions high, children in
Presents
The list is endless. I got a newspaper on Thanksgiving and it weighed five pounds. Advertisements for an endless shopping list of great deals. The only thing that left me feeling empty, besides the materialism, was having people work on Thanksgiving.

A Caroling Acrostic
This 'surprisingly' just won a contest for a 'Christmas' acrostic. I think it was the idea of using the carols rather than the actual quality of the poem, that and the fact that there were only 19 entries. But what the hell... a win is a win :)
Presents
Just some of the presents I remember getting over the years. Some I still have to this day. The mouse trap game sits in my closet. I haven't touched it in many years. I should get it out and try playing it again, or at least make the guy jump in the pool. Hope you all get what you wan for Christmas. Merry Christmas Everybody!

Blessed be you all this Solstice Night.
Twas The Night Before Christmas (Jail Version)
We have the largest prison population in the world. Most of the people in prison don't deserve to be there, but a few do. It seems that we reward bad behavior and punish good behavior in this country. I just think it would be nice to have the truly bad ones get a good scolding from Ol St. Nick.
