A Merry Metal Xmas
Merry Christmas, to all the poets/poetesses here at DU. This year was only the beginning, folks. Seems arriving here has put some wind in the sails of my creative journey. That was my Christmas gift, I received from my fellow writers here at DU. You all helped me rise again like a glorious phoenix. Or some other town in Arizona. lol. What movie did I quote that line from? Anybody? I know who'll take a stab at it, and will probably get it right.

The Guiding Light
He went for his daily walk like he did every morning around 9:00 am
Today was Xmas
The weather was overcast with some light flurries
His wife was home and they will be spending Xmas with her parents today
His mother died 10 years ago
He hasn't spoken to his father since the time of her passing
They haven't seen eye to eye for many years prior, but once she died, they stopped talking
His mother was a caring, full of life individual that was taken to early
He wasn't the religious type
He would never go and visit her in the cemetery, which was only...

Merry Chistmas
divine soul lilting through time
lighting up my life, God and I
in sync and deeply connected
at one with Him and his spirit
joined with the people
we feel each other intimately
rejoicing this season
colorful lights family get togethers
a special time of year
festive and bright
let's not forget those struggling
because this time of year can be daunting
for those dealing with pain
the grey overwhelming
depression sets in, feeling left out of the celebration
reach out to those you can ...

Take a Moment
Those that suffer have the kindest hearts.Its our job as 'word people' to ease their suffering just a little.
Today, wherever you are and whatever you're doing just stop and look out the window and think.....
There are others far worse of and they deserve to be thought of on Christmas Day.......
Just for a moment.

Babuska's sarmale
In a snowy Romanian village, during Christmas cheer,
my Babuska spun tales, both delightful and queer.
The tradition was sarmale, a savory delight,
Cabbage wrapped treasures, cooked all through the night.
Meat and rice nestled in leaves so green,
simmered in tomato, a feast so serene.
But woven in laughter and holiday charms
were Babuska’s stories with their quirky alarms:
"Behave well, dear children, lest you wish to be seen
in the pot with the sarmale, simmering and lean."
The children would giggle, eyes...

Happy Holidays !!!
It's even on the shortest day
that we might see some sun
confirming with a lazy ray
another orbit done.
But that is when the season starts
where things get really tough,
especially for lonely hearts
when love is off the cuff...
and so to decor we resort
with beaux-arts and some cheer
to see unhappiness abort
before the newest year!
We fill the dying days of old
with brand new love and light
so no lone psyche gets too cold...
on an extended night:)

The Forbidden Frost (The Dark Secret of Santa)
Santa looked at the glowing green cylinder with sad eyes
A symbol of his own personal disgrace and a keeper of his greatest lie,
“A dark secret that punished an empire and destroyed his own flesh
That was denied family and now a peaceful rest,
“Regardless, if young Santa’s sin was created through infidelity
Whenever he looked upon his son Jack Frost, Santa felt guilt and misery,
“All Jack Frost ever wanted was acceptance, understanding and love
Instead of being discarded like a broken toy wasting away in cold mud,

he looks for something to give her amidst the crowd
christmas isn’t a great time
to be in town hobbling around
with the aid of a stick at it, though, she’s worth it
