Happy New Year !
It’s New Years Eve
A time to reminisce, remember absent family and friends
Time to celebrate the present,to contemplate the day’s ahead
Many make new resolutions to maybe get fit, create a business, learn a new skill, try something new or clear out the shed.
Take a step forward in order to bring about the wonderful life we may seek
Some may find love, propose, make promises they mean to keep.
Whatever your position, your passion or your need
And no matter how impossible it may now seem
I hope and pray that the coming year..2019
will bless you with your dream !

A little New Year poemHappy New Year to all here on CS !
POSITIVE STEPS.
As we turn a page on a brand new year
Calendar or diary, one thing will be clear
Forward looking, in anticipation we know
Anything can happen, hope seeds we sow
Dreams keep us heady, without crystal ball
To guide and protect us, from life's falls
Though on our journey, experience learnt
Will stop us getting, emotionally burnt
Physical pain, a factor all must endure
When time a healer, comes as our cure
Yet on the first day, when a year is new
Comes positive outlooks, rarely negative too
If we have been hurt, caution might lead
Hope taking control, because of a need
So as the New Year, explodes as it must
Enjoy every moment, considering trust
Each new opportunity, gives you a chance
To reap joy and happiness, taking a glance
Without rose-coloured-glasses, though smile
At the journey stretching ahead, enjoying each mile.

Positive approach to the new year....with a little caution as well as a smile.......
Far From Perfect !
If I boast about my skills,
It's not that I pay my bills.
My flaws are easy to see ,
If you hang around me.
I try to be kind to all,
But my mouth may be my fall.
If you check my under arms ,
You may have some alarms.
I'll have a bath today,
Last one was Wednesday.
But if you check my heart,
You'll have a surprising report.
Some say it's made of gold ,
It's formed by much untold.
Hardship and pain can create,
A lot of sympathy for the lame.
Everyone has their story,
Listen and you may feel sorry.
So if I'm gruff and crude,
It's not because I'm rude.
We are shaped by this world,
And a product of that mold.
Some are proud of being good,
Others just dream of the Could.
I thank God I'm alive today,
His divine protection, I say.
I won't deceive or trick,
But it's hard to be perfect.!
It's not that I pay my bills.
My flaws are easy to see ,
If you hang around me.
I try to be kind to all,
But my mouth may be my fall.
If you check my under arms ,
You may have some alarms.
I'll have a bath today,
Last one was Wednesday.
But if you check my heart,
You'll have a surprising report.
Some say it's made of gold ,
It's formed by much untold.
Hardship and pain can create,
A lot of sympathy for the lame.
Everyone has their story,
Listen and you may feel sorry.
So if I'm gruff and crude,
It's not because I'm rude.
We are shaped by this world,
And a product of that mold.
Some are proud of being good,
Others just dream of the Could.
I thank God I'm alive today,
His divine protection, I say.
I won't deceive or trick,
But it's hard to be perfect.!

About this poem:
written by me ,BinkHere's Hoping............
How can you blame them
Searching for a better life
They understand of another world
Without poverty and strife
A world of jobs and riches
A world of happy and sane
So why shouldn't they pursue
To eliminate their pain
Would you search for a better life
If the roles were turned around
Of coarse you would because you know you could
It's just normal ground
So why is it we make it hard
For those who know what hard is
Should we not open our hearts
And give that what reality really is
Surely there is way
That will determine their fate
A lot more easier
Than the way they can relate
Hope is an avenue
All must venture down
I hope that all that seek their way
Keep their direction to ease their frown .............

Happy New Year!
Thinking, oh, how good it was! Thinking on this New Year’s eve,
Thank you, friends, for taking time, speaking high about me,
Many kind and gracious words may be thus addressed to thee,
You’re my refuge and my ties with the world outside of me.
Thanks for all the good you've done and for more you are to give,
Toast of joy let’s lift to us, toast to luck in joyful glee!
New Year’s coming, we're on eve, let us wish ourselves good things,
Let’s be joyful at a time when our planet takes its leap
To a new and wondrous start! New Year’s coming! Let it be!!!

I wrote and posted this poem last year, and couldn't think about anything better, so don't bear me grudge if I post it again.Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, fellow poets!
Amongst the madness..........
Old man I see you there
Pushing a trolley as if you don't care
A sparkle in your eyes amongst the fanfare
How is it you have time to share
Polished falseys and a gleaming smile
Little steps forever a mile
Each one so worthwhile
As you bask within your own style
Old man I see your stare
My hand outstretched so I may share
Christmas blessings with love and care
A stranger in your life with gifts to spare........
Pushing a trolley as if you don't care
A sparkle in your eyes amongst the fanfare
How is it you have time to share
Polished falseys and a gleaming smile
Little steps forever a mile
Each one so worthwhile
As you bask within your own style
Old man I see your stare
My hand outstretched so I may share
Christmas blessings with love and care
A stranger in your life with gifts to spare........

About this poem:
Blessing a complete stranger in the madness of shopping because he had a smile to share ...........JOYOUS GIFT.
A gift, wrapped in paper of brown
Makes one happy, or maybe frown
Tied with coloured, bows and ribbons
Made acceptable, because of trimming
Does this mean, only bright baubles
Attract our eyes, so they may dawdle
On a simple vision, basic perhaps dull
Gift of attraction, proof of inner goal
Lurking, hidden from immediate view
Gasp of joy could follow, if not on cue
Yet so often, we judge by outer cover
When seeking a friend, or even lover
Hidden gems, may hover all around
Watch from shadows, make no sound
So if looking, takes some extra time
It's worth the effort, looking for a sign
Lurking out of sight, special shining light
Lifting sense and emotions, timing right
From a glance, believed couldn't be so
Found true happiness, not expected foe
Makes one happy, or maybe frown
Tied with coloured, bows and ribbons
Made acceptable, because of trimming
Does this mean, only bright baubles
Attract our eyes, so they may dawdle
On a simple vision, basic perhaps dull
Gift of attraction, proof of inner goal
Lurking, hidden from immediate view
Gasp of joy could follow, if not on cue
Yet so often, we judge by outer cover
When seeking a friend, or even lover
Hidden gems, may hover all around
Watch from shadows, make no sound
So if looking, takes some extra time
It's worth the effort, looking for a sign
Lurking out of sight, special shining light
Lifting sense and emotions, timing right
From a glance, believed couldn't be so
Found true happiness, not expected foe

how often in life are we caught out by our own expectations.....in every aspect of life.....
Xmas
Stroll beneath heavens fiery vault
in the dry timbered creeks
in meadows parched so long
rise high these wisps of clouds
that know not the blessings
of leafy shaded green
Xmas will become you
Lost symphonies adorn the alleyways
Idle chords languid in the floral air
laughter alight from opened windows
amble in the streets and lanes
hand in hand
the world has planned
for Xmas to become you
in the dry timbered creeks
in meadows parched so long
rise high these wisps of clouds
that know not the blessings
of leafy shaded green
Xmas will become you
Lost symphonies adorn the alleyways
Idle chords languid in the floral air
laughter alight from opened windows
amble in the streets and lanes
hand in hand
the world has planned
for Xmas to become you

About this poem:
Whether you are country or city, Xmas will become you. Its raining here in NZ, supposed to be hot, bring on SummerNorth of nowhere.........
I turn back once more
And am mesmerised by what I see
The evening hues cloaking the earth
And dressing the beautiful sea
A tinge only a tinge
Whispers on the shore
But the brilliance of snow white waves
Adds a beauty I can't ignore
I stop and rest awhile
And drink it all in
My gaze stretching for miles
It's such an intoxicating thing
The remnants of rain filled clouds
Embellish the islands north
The mystical lands beyond
And the beauty of their worth
A lone surfer eases himself
Onto his last wave
As my photographic memory
Captures all I need to save..........
And am mesmerised by what I see
The evening hues cloaking the earth
And dressing the beautiful sea
A tinge only a tinge
Whispers on the shore
But the brilliance of snow white waves
Adds a beauty I can't ignore
I stop and rest awhile
And drink it all in
My gaze stretching for miles
It's such an intoxicating thing
The remnants of rain filled clouds
Embellish the islands north
The mystical lands beyond
And the beauty of their worth
A lone surfer eases himself
Onto his last wave
As my photographic memory
Captures all I need to save..........

Looking back along the beach .............Wow
~ Santa's Elves ~
Santa’s Elves
Santa’s Elves bring Christmas cheer
Making things for good little
Girls & Boys
Making all kind of wonderful Christmas toys
They sing and dance beneath the tree
Singing Christmas carols
Especially for you & me
Helping Santa load his sleigh
Getting ready for a wonderful
Christmas day
Feeding the reindeer their special holiday hay
In order that Santa can be on his merry way
Santa making children’s wishes come true
And he has a special one to give just to you!
Up on the house tops Santa will come
And down the chimney with presents for all!
Then Santa will call out
Merry Christmas to all
And to all a good night!
Merry Christmas to all
