Pepper or two

    A PEPPER OR TWO

 Christmas over,

 Over indulged,

 Now for some veg,

 

 

FATHER CHRISTMAS(NORAD TRACKER)

I hope the weather is kind tonight,

To be guided by a lunar light,

Rudolf will lead the sleigh,

To show the reindeers the way,

The elves have stacked the sleigh,

Now I will be on my way,

Delivering gifts around the world,

To all the boys and girls,

A mince pie would be great,

Or a little bit of  Christmas cake,

Leave it by the grate,

Maybe a brandy to,

To help me on my Merry Way,

I will try not to be late,

But please do not stay up late,

If you see please do not tell,

It will be our secret  Happy Noel x ......

 

 

The Eve

The Eve before the special day,

The day before the event,

Preparations in the kitchen,

Last minute wrapping,

A little tipple to reduce the stress,

Christmas tunes through out the house,

A glowing fire with tender warmth,

Christmas lights twinkling,

The aroma of spice and pine floats about,

The excitement all round,

This is what Christmas is about, 

Gallimaufry of the Heart

Re-occurring thoughts,

Images and visions repeated,

Never ending cycle,

Played out within the mind,

Raining thoughts from the brain,

The clogs doing overtime,

Powering the windmills in my mind,

With vermillion blood vessels pumping to the rhythm of a heart beat,

Creating confusion,

A magnificent gallimaufry of childhood dreams,

Melting chocolate hearts left,

In the playground,

Chiselled initials in an ancient tree,  

A reminder of a teenage love,

What needed to be said in a medley of words,

Scent of potpourri unsettling an unconfident soul,

The hodgepodge verse turned into a hash,

A long time ago,

Confused back then the meaning of love,

Not confused today as one grows old.......

 

Christmas Spirit

Dancing Spirit 

 

 

A dancing spirit the festival season brings,

Hunting the quarry of the night,

On a winters night,

Radiant glow with jingle bells a warming sight,

With seasons greetings a Xmas card brings,

Children's laughter echoing aloud,

Christmas trees with Christmas lights,

Illuminations switched on during the night,

Choirs sing carols under a lanterns beam,

A tradition its just one of those things,

Roasted chestnuts and mulled wine,

A mince pie is just Devine,

Christmas songs playing on the air,

Christmas past and Christmas present memories combined,

A special time for all to share,

With all the challenges this year has brought into the future with faith and hope,

Portrait

Portrait

   Romeo held a portrait of Juliet in his mind,

   A vision of his dreams repeated every night,

   Serenading his beauty from within his sleep,

   Of an innocent maiden with a radiant glow,

   An obsession he could not let go,

   For cupids arrow had hit its mark,

   Landed deep within his heart,

   For a passion that fuelled his soul,

   That is how the story goes......

  

Star of Wonder 21/12/20

Planets align in the sky tonight,

On the shortest day,

The winter solstice,

A rarity to shine a Christmas light,

The star so bright in the darkness of night,

A guiding light,

Jupiter and Saturn in an orbital dance,

A celestial event of the Star of Wonder,

In the galaxy called the Milky Way,
