Sad Santa

if Loneliness
is your Xmas gift
there's no amount of
of charity that
soothes a heartbreak

just an example not a competition entry

Holiday Decorations

Window, blade, red snow
Decorations glow
Reindeer Boogeymen
Outside looking in
Santa's secret show

Yellow Snow

A gift for teacher
Something to treat her
With some yellow snow
I made gelato
Served in a saucer
With a brown wafer

Mom likes roast beast...

While Mom likes roast beast...
and Dad loves a feast,
I could eat a horse...
chicken fried, of course...
in very hot grease.

Santa is coming

Sound of bells ringing
Wake me from dreaming
Quiet as a mouse
He creeps through the house
Santa is coming

Looked Out The Window

Looked out the window
and had not seen snow
on the ground and yet,
those weather guys bet
temps will dip below.

My Christmas Wish

As I write this piece,
I wish to find peace,
Start with myself first,
Then the universe,
And my mind at ease.

Christmas success

Christmas can bring stress,
If your life's a mess.
Let past regrets go,
then regain control.
This will bring success!
