Most Commented Holidays Poems (355)

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 the snow delighting.
Soft and pristine white as the wind sets it flurrying
its touch a whisper as it brushes cheeks now settling.

Magical flakes of pure white glistening and sparkling,
while icicles translucent adorn trees decorating
their branches and trunks with colour reflecting.
The people filled with awe as Jesus they are welcoming.

contest: A Christmas Snow

Bullied at school
When am I gonna rule?
My salvation lies in rock and roll
My friend gives me a record to fill my soul
I play it backwards and get instructions
To get even with this corruption
It works great
But the demon released by this record doesn't want to wait
He loves this hate
There is no debate
He wants me to help him kill
His music my thrill
I say no
You gotta go
But he gets out with a little help
From my friend who is a welp
At the high school dance
He puts them in a trance
Then shoots lightning out of his guitar
Killing numerous teens and one teacher near and far
Then he is played on the radio
I know what I have to do
Put a radio in the back of a police car
Taunt him to come get me and drive far
I will take him out
Before he hits the river he will shout
Then I will send him away forever
From a record I shouldn't have ever played
So be careful with your records
And don't ever play them backwards

Parade is on Main
Cows Palm Trees Cheese Curds and Candy
Dairy Paradise

~ Snow Crystals ~

Snowflakes Heavenly sent

Whispering their way thru the air

Flaking their whiteness upon the ground

With their lacey white beauty being spread around

Specking the land with it’s whiteness bright

Turning the ground into a snowy delight

Crystal dew droppings from the sky

Whitening the ground for you and I

Snowflakes magically floating in air

Makes us wonder if Heaven’s Angles are also there

Quietness, ecstasy and beauty too

Sending Santa’s message to you

Peace upon earth and mercy mild

To all it’s good people, he has a message for you

God Bless you ~ one and all ~

Merry Christmas

I went to Las Vegas on Valentine's Day
This was my love gift to myself
I was supposed to go in 2002
But I got sidetracked by Yellowstone in Wyoming, Devil's Tower
And Mt. Rushmore
So I flew this time
The last time I flew was in 2019 out to California
This time I has to wear a mask
No boxed lunches this time around either
So I also had to fly to Charlotte, North Carolina, then onto Vegas from there
This took me from 2 a.m. getting up to drive to Madison
Then I was late by five minutes which made my flight passes invalid
Luckily I had nice people that still accepted them
I got to my room around 4 pm at Circa by Freemont Streeet
I ate at the Heart Attack Grill around 5 pm
I almost got run thinking Freemont was a closed off street
It's not, there is cross traffic about half way down it
I went to see the Statue of Liberty and the Strat
I went on a ride that shoots out over the edge of the Strat at over 1,000 feet up
Then I got off the bus about 2 miles too soon and walked and ran
Through dangerous streets of Las Vegas, ate at White Castle
And flew the next day
It was an accomplishment, but it was exhausting!

I went to my Mom's for Thanksgiving
I was surprised to see my great niece and nephew Lexi and Hayden there
Lexi just got her drivers license and borrowed her Mom's car
I did not know if we were going to have a meal at home or at McDonald's
We had no meal together last year
So this year I just went over and found out
If I had did that for Christmas I would have had room in my stomach for ham
But I went to China Buffet instead
Inspired by the movie A Christmas Story
We had ham, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie
I don't know what next year will bring
Will Mom be in a home?
Will my nephew Shane be homeless?
But at least we got together

I've received many Christmas gifts through the years
Stretch Armstrong, Evil Kenievel motorcyle are memories of happy tears
Toss Across, Light Bright, Lawn Darts, Battleship, and a tape recorder
A weight bench and a stereo with record player, 8-track, tape were in order
A majic set, metal ball space game, a dart gun
Having someone to play with all these things would have been more fun
If I had a wish now is the time with someone to play with all these things
Because the best Christmas gifts is a friend and the joy it brings

I got bitten by a zombie about a month ago
And boy do I feel guilty
I have this unquenchable hunger for human flesh
Coupled by my belief that eating people is really really wrong
Because you never really get full
I remember in the good ol days of eating pizza(especially at Chuck E Cheese)
And feeling good about it
I could always pull into McDonalds after a hard day and feel good right away
There is no feeling good as a zombie
If you don't eat people you get horrible pain all through your body
I call it screaming pain
As all you can really do is scream your bloody head off
If you eat someone then the guilt is another torture
You don't scream as much as want to cry nonstop
Not to mention the fact that after a month of rot I don't look so hot
So for all you living out there
Take my advice and stay safe
And be sure to stay the hell away from me!!

I bought my first pumpkin pie yesterday
I also bought some cool whip
I like my pumpkin pie cold
I also had some sliced turkey
The mashed potatoes and stuffing await as they take more time to make
I also have a can of cranberry sauce I will have to open soon and enjoy
I think of Thanksgiving and how the Indians have a day of mourning
They lost their good land and many lives
They had one good meal with the pilgrims in 1621
I also think of the homeless
We had a guy who had lived outside our town for about two weeks
He had a bicycle connected to a cart with tarps and solar panels
I saw a youtube video of him and he was about 20 miles away by Montfort
I also think of the balloons they have at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade
Spongebob is my favorite
So it's food, pilgrims, Indians, homeless, and balloons
Oh my!

There's no place for the holidays
It got taken away by meth
There's no place for the holidays
And the holidays will never be the same
Back in 2018 we had our last
But the last two went right into the can
We had a home but only five showed up
And we had the same again last year
There is no place for the holidays
In 2021 we're on our own
There is no place for the holidays
And it looks like the next time I see these people will be at the next funeral
