Dear Santa
Maybe I should ask for a dog
after all they are loyal, protective
loving and a good companion
They never talk back and expect so
little in return just food and shelter
and a little love in return
What more could I ask for
after all they are loyal, protective
loving and a good companion
They never talk back and expect so
little in return just food and shelter
and a little love in return
What more could I ask for

About this poem:
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.Presents
What would I want to have if there were no limits on me?
Santa would have a majic sack to give them all for free
A new porsche would be great
Along with a daily meal of steak
A round of golf anywhere on the planet each week
My own jet that would be sleek
A end to any kind of work
No more hanging out with a boss for a jerk
Skiing in Switzerland would be nice
Having my own studio where I could carve some ice
Friends to play video games with me
They would even want to go ski
A girlfriend who is nice and hot
She would be excited to get what I've got
Peace, love, and joy would be my daily feeling
Away from me hate, jealous, and fear that keeps me reeling
Lonliness would be a thing of the past
As well as perfect teeth that would last and last
The ability to eat anything without consequence
The desire to live free and take a chance
The ability to dance any dance
An endless supply of money
And a woman to wake me up by saying "I Love You Honey!"

About this poem:
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.
TRINI CHRISTMAS ( Shadow's Challenge)
It's painting and baking,
With scents mingling
And chairs varnishing
The cutlery polishing...
Is pork or turkey,
What ever's your fancy
Delivery trucks pulling up to the entry,
Merchants in their glee
As children play merrily...
Neighbors go a-paranging,
Some husbands go a-drinking
Some wives are a-gossiping
About the neighbor's last year curtain...
Sorrel and ginger beer
Black cake everywhere
Pastelles in abundance this time of year
And if we ever see snow, I'll stop and stare
Cuz shucks, we're just in the wrong hemisphere
With scents mingling

What ever's your fancy

Some husbands go a-drinking
Some wives are a-gossiping
About the neighbor's last year curtain...
Sorrel and ginger beer
Black cake everywhere
Pastelles in abundance this time of year
And if we ever see snow, I'll stop and stare
Cuz shucks, we're just in the wrong hemisphere

About this poem:
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.
Challenge
Write me poems about Christmas
can be about past ones
children's christmas story
santa
or anything related to this time of year
let's get some and humour going for this special time of year
example
Jack Frost
Jack Frost laid his hand over the lands
trees now adorned with hoar frost gems
laughing in glee watched people slip
then slide helpless down the slopes.
Bitter cold from his fingers ran
turning the ground rock hard
as icicles grew so very long
the air so brittle it snapped.
Surveyed his domain unsatisfied
and pointed a slender finger
windows now became jammed
locks too now frozen solid.
Yet as the sun rose up high
Jack Frost's work became undone
and back into oblivion he slipped
knowing there was always next year.

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

Cold Season of Thanks
The days draw nearer in shadows,
shafts of sunlight slowly fade away,
coldness creeps in like the gallows,
stillness of sound, no children at play,
Skies with blurry clouds of gray,
biting winds with the chill factor,
damp and cold in bones find there way,
sniffles and grunts not much laughter,
Eyes sting and gently weep,
frost shows its morning dew,
trickling flakes of snow will grow deep,
not many venture out just a few,
Crinkled skin and dry lips,
life is for all to keep living,
taking hot drinks with gentle sips,
for many around it is now Thanksgiving.

About this poem:
Just feeling the chill of weather which makes us feel a little below par but for many its is a time of families and making merry, to them I wish all the very best.A Precious Gift
As we approach Christmas
and exchange gifts with others
there is one gift that we do not need to purchase
Its not in bright wrapping and tied with a bow
but we will still find it below
all we need to do is take it into our hearts
It will not be judgmental, jealous or cold
So share it with all the young and old
The gift of Love is not new but vary old
and exchange gifts with others
there is one gift that we do not need to purchase
Its not in bright wrapping and tied with a bow
but we will still find it below
all we need to do is take it into our hearts
It will not be judgmental, jealous or cold
So share it with all the young and old
The gift of Love is not new but vary old

About this poem:
Happy Holidays J
Ghost
I thought I saw a ghost last night
Flicker out like candle light
Then softly glow behind a tree
And reaching out, it beckoned me.
I felt a tugging at my heart
And soon my world came apart
Like spider webs on rainy days
And tattered clouds o'er windy bays.
And as I watched the eerie glow
I thought of things I used to know
Like friends once close that now have gone
Or words to ancient, nameless songs.
But when I tried to walk that way
The light grew dim and could not stay
Attached to common earthly things,
And flew away on angel wings.
Now all I have are empty fears
Of moonlit nights and passing years
And all that you could give to me
Will never serve to set me free
Flicker out like candle light
Then softly glow behind a tree
And reaching out, it beckoned me.
I felt a tugging at my heart
And soon my world came apart
Like spider webs on rainy days
And tattered clouds o'er windy bays.
And as I watched the eerie glow
I thought of things I used to know
Like friends once close that now have gone
Or words to ancient, nameless songs.
But when I tried to walk that way
The light grew dim and could not stay
Attached to common earthly things,
And flew away on angel wings.
Now all I have are empty fears
Of moonlit nights and passing years
And all that you could give to me
Will never serve to set me free

About this poem:
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.
Halloween (Cinquain)
Halloween
Frightful sights
Under moon’s light
Ghosts and goblins alight
Tonight
