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:
I have gotten many gifts over the years. I wore my sister's gift of a Galena Golf Club shirt on Christmas since she and her whole family didn't show up for Christmas. It would have added 19 people to the celebration. It was just me and a friend, my mom and brother, and my nephew who wouldn't join us as his dad was mad at him for not getting a job for over five years now.
King of Christmas * Shadow's Challenge *
My wishlist for Christmas?...That Christ lives within us...
Though I am a bit saddened, my sins have worn thin...
Therein lies the truth, how could truth be a lie?
It can't, it's within, every pore of His skin....
Though I am a bit saddened, my sins have worn thin...
Therein lies the truth, how could truth be a lie?
It can't, it's within, every pore of His skin....

About this poem:
These are my first ornaments that have sound. I get one every year. In 2012 when I was out of work I found a picture ornament in the trash. I have an ornament from a student when I taught for two years. Some I got at an auction of my parents stuff, they date from the 60s. I have two I made in school around the second grade in 1976.Soylent Green
Soylent Green
It's People!
And it's delicious!
We take only the finest people to make our Soylent Green wafers
They look like Triscuits
but they have all the nutrition you need
When you're on the go and just don't have time to cook a meal
Soylent Green taste really good
For a meal or just a snack
You'll love em!

About this poem:
I was watching Soylent Green with Charlton Heston and thought of a commercial for these wafers set in the year 2022, about three years from now. In the movie, New York City has a population of 40 million people. Tokyo has the largest metropolitan population at 32 million, New York City has a metropolitan population of 19 million people.Thanksgiving Day
Made all the food ahead of time
Just throw it on a plate and microwave it
Started out with green bean casserole
Moved onto mashed potatoes and campbell's brown gravy
A little cranberry sauce while I watch Astronaut Snoopy
Spongebob balloon and many others
All flying close to the ground because of high winds
I get a call from Mom while I'm eating turkey
My nephew wants to eat Chinese, but they're closed
Only McDonald's is open
So Mom says they will figure something out later
I tell her I have to eat right now so I eat at Mickey D's
When I get there she says they're going to McDonald's
Which I had already done
So I find out the reason they want to eat in Platteville
Is because my nephew is wanted by the law in Iowa
Meanwhile his son wants some real turkey at his mom's in Cassville
His don't want to work dad can't drive him because of his three DWIs
So I go from that mess and visit my Dad at the nursing home
While he sleeps, I watch TV and play Press Your Luck on my Nintendo DS
I drive home and play games and watch The Office Christmas reruns
Have some more Thanksgiving food and call it a day
Hope you had a good Thanksgiving!

About this poem:
Dealing with my family is tough, no one else showed up as they are fed up too.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

About this poem:
This is by far the most popular Thanksgiving movie ever, and really funny.Christmas Shopping in November
I have always done my Christmas shopping early
Some may say I'm kinda squirrely
They love to shop on Thanksgiving and Black Friday
I say no way!
Get all that materialism out of the way early
So you can avoid a bunch of bargain hunter who behave too surely
I went yesterday on November first
To avoid all those people who behave the worst
Thanksgiving should be a day off for all
Not another reason to go to the mall
Some people never get a day off
Working seasonal jobs even if they have to cough
To give presents to some relatives they see only once a year
Getting together with people, if they weren't related, they'd steer clear
So now that I'm done with all the present buying
I can focus on things that won't leave me crying
Like Christmas movies and shows like Alf's Turkey In The Straw
About Alf befriending a homeless man who steers clear of the law
Or good food like turkey and pumpkin pie
And Peppermint Patty chewing out Charlie Brown
While he stand there with a sigh
It's more fun when we're not trying to save a buck
And if we do it right, we'll be in luck
For a Thanksgiving and Christmas that will be filled with joy
I hope yours is also one where you can say "Oh Boy!"
May all your holidays be shiny and bright
So we can all have a silent night
Some may say I'm kinda squirrely
They love to shop on Thanksgiving and Black Friday
I say no way!
Get all that materialism out of the way early
So you can avoid a bunch of bargain hunter who behave too surely
I went yesterday on November first
To avoid all those people who behave the worst
Thanksgiving should be a day off for all
Not another reason to go to the mall
Some people never get a day off
Working seasonal jobs even if they have to cough
To give presents to some relatives they see only once a year
Getting together with people, if they weren't related, they'd steer clear
So now that I'm done with all the present buying
I can focus on things that won't leave me crying

While he stand there with a sigh
It's more fun when we're not trying to save a buck
And if we do it right, we'll be in luck
For a Thanksgiving and Christmas that will be filled with joy
I hope yours is also one where you can say "Oh Boy!"
May all your holidays be shiny and bright
So we can all have a silent night

Already watching Thanksgiving and Christmas movies. I started off with Charlie Brown's Thanksgving and also watched the best of Saturday Night Live's Best Thanksgiving sketches.
Frozen Nights
It Holloween Night and its a Scare.
Hard to say goodbye to your love ones with a Prayer.
Business soon booming for what is not right.
Toys and Candies for Children happen at Night.
I have seem leaves fallen as Autumn Looms.
Violet Sunrise are good perfumes.
Funny or Crazy we all can be.
As these Frozen Nights inspire me.
Barking Dogs Howl Nowadays. As Autumn falls before Winter fades.

About this poem:
its like a riddle.Holloween Jack
Its about time those Holloween Jacks come to visit you.
Scared about children --dying so true.
Dark nights are heavier these days-- When Christmas and Holloween brew.
Farther Graves are glowing Grey.
Autumn Leaves have their dark brown Frey.
Barks of trees feels so Rusted.
as Holloween Jacks feel so trusted.
Happy Holloween to you.
When Spirits Howl on their pale white hue.
Scared about children --dying so true.
Dark nights are heavier these days-- When Christmas and Holloween brew.
Farther Graves are glowing Grey.
Autumn Leaves have their dark brown Frey.
Barks of trees feels so Rusted.
as Holloween Jacks feel so trusted.
Happy Holloween to you.
When Spirits Howl on their pale white hue.
