A poor man’s rich Christmas by Bradley A. Peraino
Money’s kind of tight this year but, I have this to say;
there is no better Christmas gift than to be with you today.
There are no Christmas trees or lights that compare to what I see
when your light blue eyes and Christmas smile shine brightly back at me.
There is no need to deck the halls or make a Christmas list.
We don’t need to hang the mistletoe to share a Christmas kiss.
We don’t need a fancy dinner and a lot of company.
We don’t need to take a sleigh ride; all we need is you and me.
So, if this year isn’t picturesque; your forgiveness, I request.
Though, to me, as long as you are here, this Christmas is the best.

Morning Prayer by Steven Federle
In winter's stark dawning
in cold fog encased,
your warmth I'm discerning
though night will not fade,
for unwilling is morning
it lurks in sore limbs,
your song's arising
and I know that you'll send
to my darkest night-hour
new light to set me free
and your song I'll be singing
in the glow of the east!
Merry Christmas by WaystationOne
pause
& play
cause fast forward happens
when you don't look
and the rewind button's
broke on this tape deck
but growing up, it was all about
the records, come Christmas,
pop & crack in Bing's voice
and on Christmas eve we'd
gather in tight in the back
room at uncles house and talk
to Santa on the hamm radio
feed the dog brussel sprouts
to clean our plate
cause that might determine
naughty or nice
& for one night just be
and be family
together
so tonight
pause
& play
cause fast forward happens
when you don't look
and the rewind button's
broke, but bing he still sings,
though sometimes skips
h-h-h-Have yourself a merry
little christmas
Through the years
we all will be together
If the fates allow
And have yourself
a merry little Christmas now.

Merry Christmas everyone!
Merry Christmas and happy New Year! I noticed That one of my poems was featured this week. I consider that an honor considering the company that I keep on this site. I pray that everyone has a safe and holy holiday.
welcome,
enjoy yourself.
Bradley, pleasure to have you here.
I'm happy to participate on the last Poetry Picnic for 2011! Happy Holidays to everyone at Jingle Poetry. Your work is awesome. I hope this community can continue to grow and become stronger in 2012. And I wish all poets in this community success in your creativity in 2012.
LOL...I just realize that whenever I posted a link here it will automatically put it on the Poetry Potluck's blog as well :) I hope I didn't confuse you all as I seem to be confusing myself. I posted 3, hope that's okay, and I will do my round tomorrow (it is now almost midnight at my place).
yes, the linkz is the same,
lazy me, trying not to differentiate
entries, they remain treasure to the same community,
both blogs are the same community with slightly different schedule,
but run by the same head.
since we have more than 1000 poets coming and going, we need enough space to honor our supporters,
as you see, poems represented are different from both blogs and it is 100% necessary to do so.
Thanks.
It shall not hinder your participation.
thanks for coming.
I am leaving town within a hour,
will definitely read all of you.
my son finally has scheduled his surgery for today at 11:15am,
hope all goes well.
busy with family chores today.
later at 8pm, got to pick up my hubby from airport since he has been traveling over seas in the past 11 days.
Thanks for the understanding and support.
Cheers.
I just found your wonderful linkup for poetry and so I linked a post-Christmas song I love.
Blessings,
Gayle from Behind the Gate
