Holidays Poems (355)

I love the day
And especially the night
The soothing ray
Of that ethereal light

The freshness of air
Breathing so deep
I do say, I dare
Take the great leap

And float in the abyss
Drifting by, ever silent
Deep inside, perfect bliss
A feeling so oddly compliant

Down the river, I flow
To where? i dont care
Destination? I don't know
Not your average fare

All i know is im going
And thats ok with me
As the river keeps flowing
I just don't care, you see

Finally that Summer sun beaming its bright light,
Music blaring in my living room am rocking,
Good job have high fences to see me dancing is a sight,
If I shout loud enough Free Booze the neighbours would come a flocking,

To feel that warmth and pleasant breeze,
Spirits high with a good feeling emotion,
No hay fever for me I do not sneeze,
When one feels this way then living life is devotion,

Songs playing enliven my rythm,
Play that Sax man rock these bones,
If a partner was here they would be dancing thats a given,
Guitar solos screeching out those dancing tones,

I have a smile across my face,
And my heart is full of joy and I am free,
I wish I could pass this on to all the human race,
So I send this message to all be happy come and join me

Fellow poets, friends. happy Easter to you all and may His peace and joy be with you! God bless, J. 04/04/15

Searching for a four leaf clover

in the green grasses that grow in the rocks

The little people point the way

Just looking for that pot of gold

Me thinks its in the hills or mountains

Not sure weather its north or south

or near the ocean or sea

It might not be gold in a monetary sense

or something I can see or touch

but I know its there just waiting..waiting

The little people told me so

This is the way I will go, searching for the pot of gold



Happy St Patrick's Day Everyone

The word Valentine comes from a priest
The priest named Valentine
He married couples against the law of the state
Went to prison and died for his good deeds
The ruler at the time needed lots of soldiers
Married men didn't have to go to war
While in prison Valentine healed the jailer's daughter
His prayers brought back her sight
Before he was to be executed he left her the first Valentine signed
"Your Valentine"

If only these holidays could be wiped off the face of the earth:

Christmas
Valentine's Day
Easter
Thanksgiving
You name it

What a wonderful world this would be!

Then, instead of feeling like I'm being
wiped off the earth
I could be

I passed out unconscious at the library and hit my head
Cause I worked 300 days at a factory I dread
Saw the Twins play baseball
Spent a lot of time window shopping at the Kennedy Mall
Bought a 2000 Cavalier paid in cash
Had a friend mad at me for selling the other I thought was trash
Juggled on the Badger Camp Telethon
Couldn't do Jump Around and Gangster's Paradise I had my heart set on
So I did Arthur's Theme and Rubberband Man
Felt like I was juggling for the man
Celebrated Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas at my Mom's
Felt fearful while I waited for the verbal bombs
Yellow Flicker Beat by Lorde was my favorite song
Got tired of all the Ferguson crap
Can't we all just get along?
Made some food, ate a lot of fast food from the Walmart Mall
My last creation was a cheese ball

Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the jail
Lots of creatures were stirring
Even a vengeful inmate with a nail
The toilet paper was hung by the communal toilet without care
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there
The prisoners were nustled unsafe in their beds
While visions of freedom danced in their heads
And I in my orange prison uniform and the guard in her cap
Wished we could settle down for a long winter's nap
When up from the roof there arose such a clatter
The prison guard sprang from her chair to see what was the matter
I knew that someone was up on that roof so lively and quick
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick
And then in the twinkling I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each tiny hoof
Then when I felt all would be well
In St. Nicholson came into our cell
He spoke a few words and went straight to his work
Then he exclaimed like a jerk
Deadbeat dads who make kids cry
Bad check writers who steal and lie
Drunk drivers who maim and make people fret
You all deserve the baloney sandwich you're going to get
But I come here to give you more than words
I also give you my Christmas turds
Then he laid a finger aside of his nose
And majically a chimney arose
Up he went and I heard him exclaim as he faded from sight
Merry Christmas to everyone else and I wish them all well
But as for you
You can all go to hell!

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree
How your paths have enlightened me
You were just a seed to one day sprout
Then take me to higher places without a doubt
I saw you all alone, but standing tough
So I brought you here and I lit you up
You kept me in spirit all these lonely nights
With your star above always shining bright
Filling me with beauty beyond our skies
Into greener planes and Northern Lights
Bringing Christmas joy into my home
That soon will fill with cheerful tone
But for now we'll go back inside
Because my family just arrived
And when they put their gifts beneath that other tree
Just remember it will always be only you and me

Merry ChristmaKwanzukkah
