Last Commented Holidays Poems (355)

" Fire One!" I shouted out,
and let that snowball fly.
it zeroed in on my friends face,
and smacked him in the eye.
I heard him scream, and then he fell,
and boy did he start balling.
But thats the price you have to pay,
when winter flakes are falling.
But he got up and looked around,
so i launched another round.
this one missed above his head
and sailed into a tree.
then he bent down and grabbed some snow,
and then threw one at me!
it missed, by gosh; but then i heard
my mother loudly calling.
shes right, its way to cold outside
when winter flakes are falling.

we family went to Bee Run beach today (sutton lake). jimmy had terrific fun, pretty much stayed in the water the whole time. lyn was dressed as a typical old Jewish Italian woman from Miami. decked out in a black and white zebra striped swimdress. seems she got off at the wrong exit to florida and landed smack in the middle of west virginia. I'm not sure that she realized any difference. what she may of observed behind her enormously gaudy foster grants, shrouded by a big floppy flowery hat, may have been....may have been..I have no idea. however, I had a much too clear picture in my mind as how she might be observed by other folk in the area. since she appeared as such, and we were where once was my stomping grounds, I...rather wisely you may agree, decided that it may be prudent that I too, don a thin disguise so as to escape detection. but alas....all efforts at remaining incognito were quickly burst, much as a overinflated balloon suddenly pricked by a sharply honed sewing needle, when she took it upon herself, right there amongst the horde of sweaty bathers, on the hot sands afire under the intense glare of an angry noonday sun, to reach out and (gasp!) grasp my left buttock and apply some sort of what she must have regarded as an affectionate pinch! ouch! well, such a shocking surprise to my person and my....and my....golly, it just surprised me. my skin color, that had been adopting a much too quickly pinkening hue, instantly reversed itself and turned, once anew, white as that of a sheet! the grins and the laughter of strangers behind us embarassed me. I was more embarassed than the time that I misspelled embaressed. well, I might have expected something like this. walking down to the beach, on a sign prohibiting dogs, drugs, alcohol, and the like....there was no mention of banning...cheeky women..

Orange flames dance an flicker around
Sending hot embers to the ground
Enticing music an people do abound
For the campfire has been found

Under the nights speckled sky
People an swags they do lie
Unleashing tension with a sigh
Absorbing the brilliance of nature's high

There is a freshness in the air
But the warmth of the fire does take care
Crackling timbers it does bare
Plumes of smoke billowing everywhere

Drifting off to meet the star
Dissolving in night before it gets too far
Sound of nostrils flaring from afar
The night is perfect there is no marr

Joyous sounds of music shared
Uniting people who have cared
To make the journey an have bared
The campfire the flames have flared

If when the city runs you down
Head to the bush where some have found
The campfire an the illuminous starbound
Brings meaning to life an keeps you aground

Well the holidays have come and gone
It was fun while it lasted
Now comes reality
Back to work, relationships continues, responsibilities are still there
It is a simple fact of life
Continue go forth and perservere
Every day should be like Christmas
Help each other gracefully and be supportive
People come and people go
Events happen and moods change
Elvis Presley had the right Idea
Everyday should be like Christmas

Another year all shiny new,
What will it bring? How will we do?
Will there be fame and fortune great?
Will all our troubles then abate?

Some moan and wail in sad lament,
About time wasted, poorly spent.
Oh how has all our precious time,
Gone up in smoke while we reclined?

The past is past no need to cry,
Don't waste your tears or even sigh.
With each new dawn new hopes arise,
In every night stars fill our skies.

Let this year bring good times to all,
Peace and comfort on each befall.
May love be strong and pure and true,
My fervent wish to all of you.

A new year is filled with excitement
And a new perspective
The previous year has come to a close
Now it is time to be reflective

A new beginning given to us
To think about the past
And not repeat the same mistakes
To compare and to contrast

How will your life be different this year?
What is going to change?
Is there a resolution to make?
Or priorities to rearrange?

Make this year a new beginning
The past year does not remain
Gaze ahead to the future
Moving forward into unknown terrain.

Though the road may seem uncertain
And the path may look unclear
No matter where the journey leads
There is no reason to fear.

Don't lose sight of your hopes this year
Enjoy the new memories each day makes
Moving forward little by little
One step at a time is all it takes

Count each day that you are given
As a blessing from above
Let this year be meaningful and special
A new year that you can be proud of.

A new year is a new beginning
To make a fresh start
Continuing on in the journey of life
By looking within your heart

sense of hope can be found
within the folds of paper
wrapped tightly around a box
and a pinned pink bow on top

under the tree you will find
these parcels of gifts bunched up
under the sparkleing lights of the tree
waiting for the midnight call of laughter

the day awakens its time to unwrap
the sound of ripeing has engulfed the house
the hope of happyness has come to light
under the sparkleing lights.

Here’s to the outgoing year, 2010:
May the good times live on in our memories,
and may we learn lessons from the troubling times
that will make us stronger and better than ever.
Here’s to 2011:
For each and every one of you,
may it be filled with significant steps
toward the fulfillment of your fondest wishes.
In this coming new year,
let us focus on our goals and work toward our dreams,
and yet (smile)
let’s all try to go with the flow a little more
and stress a little less.
And most important,
(wave glass around to encompass the whole group)
here’s to all of you.
Appreciate yourselves and each other in the new year
as I appreciate all of you now.
Let’s focus on each other’s good points

Happy New Year to everyone

Oh Holy night
The world is such a fright
It is Christmas time this year once more
And no one knows what is for sure
The world has changed as time goes by
And no one cares if the children cry
The nations all think that they are that best
So now they are trying to give us a test
Lets’ launch us some nukes and see if we can
Make new history this year and eliminate man
The world keeps growing with nowhere to go
And all we care is that our pockets will grow
We spend and spend and know it’s alright
That somewhere somehow we will find us a bite
But as we go through another new year
I hope and pray that we know who’s Dear
For he's THE ONE who can make it right
And save us from this awful plight
Dear Lord we pray and say to thee
Save us all that cannot see
For when it’s all said and done
We’ll all be there to see your son
