Christmas Tree Poetry

Some Christmas concrete poetry. 

A tree

Lit up for the whole

World to see.

A light shining in the darkness

Of the world

Where a babe is born, Saviour to us all.

Gifts to wrap

The hurry and scurry of the season catches us of guard

Every time.

We ask each other what means the most and what we want

The thing is

We never know, because God gave us the ultimate gift of all to us.

What could we

Want more than

A Saviour?

 

This next one is more of a challenge for us all… even for me!

What do

You want for Christmas?

The famous

Question that gets asked most

this time.

What do we want, really, though?

World peace?

No more war, no more starvation of the innocent?

A world free

Of all problems that we could ever think of, problems that

We don’t even know exist.

Instead we ask for books, jewelry, gift cards galore. We give these all

To friends and family.

What about the homeless man who lives by the park, starved and cold this time?

Who helps him?

Salvation Army

And other organizations

But what do you do to help?

Life

Poem with the prompt ‘cavity’ 

via Daily Prompt: Cavity

Hope between the cavities

Large mountains

Followed by deep valleys.

The mountains built by triumphs

The valley’s dug by trails.

Life doesn’t have baselines,

Instead, ups and downs:

Ups with cheers

Downs with tears.

Life is a special journey,

Don’t treat it lightly:

Enjoy each mound and cavity

Anxiety

A poem on anxiety

I stifle your breath

Like pollution grasps its hand

On a throat.

You can’t go anywhere

Without me,

I’ll always be here

To ruin your life.

Lots of love,

Anxiety.

Inkling

A short poem I wrote with the word prompt of ‘inkling’. 

just an inkling of hope

without the ability to cope

I want to elope

just health and I

Silhouette

A quick poem about depression I wrote…

 

as the sun sets

the silhouette becomes no more

engulfed by the darkness

SNOW Acrostic Poems

Images that come to mind when I think of snow

Skating skillfully in circles around the frozen pond

Now a turn, now a flip jump, and now a pirouette

Opening her chest to for one last jump

Whilst snow gracefully falls

 

Silvery hair sweeping down his chin, with his

Nose deep in long list of wisdom,

Only he knows what secrets it holds

While we wait anxiously for Christmas Day.

Reindeer Acrostic Poem

Rosy red cheeks from

Energetic reindeer prancing around

In the North Pole.

Night nears, silhouetting the animals

Dancing to their hearts content,

Enjoying their freedom before the

Eve of Christmas; they will be put to work while

Racing each other around the world.

Oh, Christmas Tree

A poem I made out of Christmas song titles… enjoy!

 

Oh, Christmas Tree

Where are you this Christmas?

All I want for Christmas is you.

Christmas can’t be very far away!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Deck the halls!

But, oh Christmas tree,

Where are you this Christmas?

Because Here comes Santa Clause

And Rudolph the red nose reindeer.

All I really want for Christmas is you,

Oh, Christmas tree.

Infinity

Little free verse I wrote while falling asleep last night. Hope you enjoy! 

 

Seems like an infinite amount of time

but I don’t want it to be

yet the world has spun an infinite amount of times since then

an infinite number of stars have collapsed

and an infinite number created

an infinite amount of breathes have been taken

all taken for granted

an infinite amount of memories

of feelings and emotions attatched

and when I go back,

Infinity starts again

Moving – Couplets

So I meant to write a full poem, but decided that these couplets described moving better than putting it all into a poem. 

The home that we established

Now a ghost town, everything vanished.

Air mattresses are on the floor

As everything else goes out the door.

Eerily, the rooms sound echoes

As the emptiness bellows.
