Open Water
In open water
No sign of land
Not sinking
Funny
Because I
Don't know how to swim
Water-logged
Egg nogged
More whiskey
Please?
Cheers!
Merry Christmas
From the front line
Almost to the finish
Line
Almost outswam
The sharks
Happy New Year
New attempt
At old resolutions
Viva La Revolucion!
Diamond in the rough
Life is rough
Willow sways
Rarely snapping but
Snapped I have
I am in open water
But the water is
Clear
And the land will
Extend a hand
And I will run along
The beach
No sign of land
Not sinking
Funny
Because I
Don't know how to swim
Water-logged
Egg nogged
More whiskey
Please?
Cheers!

About this poem:
rebirth in the new year
Planes Trains and Automobiles Retold
In this movie Neal Page meets Del Griffith on his way back to Chicago
Del is a big help getting him his own room at a fancy hotel with good towels
He gets a nice free meal from Del the following morning
Then they get a ride in a nice warm truck to a nice train
The train has a mishap, but are shuttled to an even nicer bus
After Neal sings a song everybody loves, they get a nice car from a nice lady
They drive the car without any problems and share another motel room
There they share stories of their wives who are both alive and well
Neal invites Del back to his house where they have a Thanksgiving meal
Later Del's wife shows up and loves the Neal Page's family
Del Griffith's family soon move next door and look forward to many more
Thanksgivings with his new best friend
The End

This is by far the most popular Thanksgiving movie ever, and really funny.
Christmas Magic
Christmas Magic
The air is full of expectation
mystery lurks round every corner
the presents passed out bring exhalation
none of this possible without your partner
Close your eyes, let go and think back
to the days of your childhood
remember believing in Santa and his sack
nowadays what is the likelihood
The magical spell of Christmas
is surely in the special fragrant smells
frankincense assaults me at mass
brings memories flooding back in swells
The warmth of feelings
as friends gather around
sitting down to dumplings
makes my heart abound
Dumpling in Scotland we make a fruit dumpling that is around 2 feet wide placed in an unused pillow case and steamed served hot Christmas day or New Years Eve and then cold or fried they usually last 8-12 days
The air is full of expectation
mystery lurks round every corner
the presents passed out bring exhalation
none of this possible without your partner
Close your eyes, let go and think back

The magical spell of Christmas

frankincense assaults me at mass

About this poem:
Well we see this all over tthe country as we our living in a economy of hunger and hurt and so forth... Well try sharing and caring and donate a toy for a tot in need this year as so many get too much and others get none...The 4th of July
Fireworks
that's the main way I celebrate this holiday
I spent about fifty bucks on various fountains
The good stuff that goes boom or in the sky is illegal
I also am going to watch Independence Day
The one with Will Smith smacking some aliens
Not Chris Rock
Music is another thing I do
American Made by The Oak Ridge Boys
American Pie by Don McLean
Voices That Care
National Anthem by Whitney Houston
God Bless The USA by Lee Greenwood
wearing my flag socks and Mickey Mouse 4th of July parade shirt of 1998
and
Eating ice cream

About this poem:
I used to go to Dubque, but got tired of the crowds and the unsafe conditions of that town, now I go here in Platteville, Wisconsin.The Snake Pit
Carved my three pumpkins
T-rex, Princess Leia, and Alien
Now I am going golfing around 11:30
#6 has a grave yard to the left of the fair way
If you hit one in you leave it
Then around 3:30 I leave for my mom's
I call it the Snake Pit
This may be the last year there for Trick or Treating
I got a call from my sister saying she wants to put mom in a home
Mom has dementia as well as a grandson who has drained her savings
There is nothing left to pay the bills
I turned them down when they asked me for money
I had already paid a third of my Dad's funeral which was about three grand
So will she let me stay and give out candy or send me packing?
All I can do is try
Try once again to survive The Snake Pit!

About this poem:
My sister is doing basically what we did to Japan in 1945, getting revenge for neglect of her and her children and grandchildren by taking mom out of her home and away from her grandson and greatgrandson, and her great granddaughter, when she is brave enough to visit.
TRUE CHRISTMAS
Is a true Christmas really about Santa and Toys
Or is it about Angels singing with great Joy
Elves dressed up in bright clothes and tights
Three Wisemen following the Bethlehem starlight
Shopping elbow to elbow with strangers
Our Lord and Savior Jesus born in a manger
All about flying reindeer and sleighs
Or the promise of our sins being taken away
Lights, partying and food galore
Celebrating the coming of our Lord
A man dressed in red that’s a myth
God giving the World his greatest gift
Receiving a bunch of gifts and having fun
Thanking God for giving his only begotten Son
Is Christmas totally and completely material
Or about being forgiven and receiving Life Eternal
Or is it about Angels singing with great Joy
Elves dressed up in bright clothes and tights
Three Wisemen following the Bethlehem starlight
Shopping elbow to elbow with strangers
Our Lord and Savior Jesus born in a manger
All about flying reindeer and sleighs
Or the promise of our sins being taken away
Lights, partying and food galore
Celebrating the coming of our Lord
A man dressed in red that’s a myth
God giving the World his greatest gift
Receiving a bunch of gifts and having fun
Thanking God for giving his only begotten Son
Is Christmas totally and completely material
Or about being forgiven and receiving Life Eternal

About this poem:
There are also songs with a dark nature to them that could be included like Sweet Dreams by Eurthmics or Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson.The Wisdom Of Solstice
Light now the fires that warm the hearth;
Mistress Winter dons her long white gown.
Light now the candle of remembrance,
for another year has circled around.
See the faces of those here gathered,
for love, too, can make the cold hearth warm.
Huddle all near and share your stories,
for outside blows the first winter storm.
Make now your peace and speak forgiveness.
In your sweetest voice, sing Yuletide song.
Grab and hold dear these precious moments,
for ne’er again shall they come along.
Recognize that the cold grey landscape,
holds bits of ourselves that change or die.
There in the stillness we find our truth;
new bits of wisdom that never lie.
Remember, release, then joyful be
this festive, unfolding Solstice night.
A new path before us - blessed be!
The past sleeps covered in Winter’s white.
Mistress Winter dons her long white gown.
Light now the candle of remembrance,
for another year has circled around.
See the faces of those here gathered,
for love, too, can make the cold hearth warm.
Huddle all near and share your stories,
for outside blows the first winter storm.
Make now your peace and speak forgiveness.
In your sweetest voice, sing Yuletide song.
Grab and hold dear these precious moments,
for ne’er again shall they come along.
Recognize that the cold grey landscape,
holds bits of ourselves that change or die.
There in the stillness we find our truth;
new bits of wisdom that never lie.
Remember, release, then joyful be
this festive, unfolding Solstice night.
A new path before us - blessed be!
The past sleeps covered in Winter’s white.

About this poem:
Blessed be you all this Solstice Night.
Caribbean love
Roosters crowing
Moonshine glowing
Warm winds blowing,
Blue sky's singing
Sunshine gleaming
Rivers streaming
Raindrops trinkling
Ocean's mesmerizing
Fruits bearing,
Fresh vegetation
Great meditation
reggae playing
Soca swaying
Sweet sounds all around
Jerk chicken
Fried fish,
deliciousness fills the air
love is the atmosphere
Simple living
Smiles always giving
No worries or cares
Just love being there!!!!
