An eruption of presents

In red, and blue, and green

Holds nary an empty space

Amid this holiday scene

Packages piled high, waiting

Under the Christmas tree

The warmth of this season

Is blending perfectly

With silver bows and ribbons

And boxes on the floor

But, when we are together

The meaning’s so much more

snowfall
Glimmering lights, in powdered white

Captured the sun, and to my delight

Spun in a swirled, never ending dance

The beauty of snowfall, such pure romance

Santa’s Favorite Color ~ #poetry #DecemberWriting

Her fishnet stockings, were a very nice surprise

As she could surely see, by the look in Santa’s eyes

She decided on the red, of course, his favorite shade

He didn’t care for the black, so, very nicely played

High heeled shoes, the highest, completed the style

She knew he’d stay right there, even for a little while

With Christmas Eve upon him, she only had one chance

She batted her eyes, and winked at him, with a sexy glance

That was all she need do, he caved into her, his vice

All he needed to know, was if she’s naughty or she’s nice

Why Santa, I’ve been a naughty girl, she shyly told him so

I’d love to show you how, but I know you have to go

Poor guy, he sighed aloud, for he knew she was quite right

He had to pack the sleigh, and get ready for the night

Now don’t worry, kiddies, Santa hasn’t broken any laws

The legs inside the stockings, belong to Mrs. Claus

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE EVERYONE!

Let me arouse your imagination
Fill your dreams with wondrous creation
Quixotic feelings, powerful, unleashed
Secretive cravings, hungry, released

Igniting the passion flowing through
Fascinating thoughts begin to brew
Spirits lifting your very being
Waiting, watching, ever seeing

To guide you through the mystical dark
Lightened with its mysterious spark
Close your eyes now, sleep
Fantasy awakening, slumber deep

Sweet Little Thing ~ #poetry #DecemberWriting

She reeks of sugared candy, smells like a marshmallow

If she keeps this up, she’ll soon be looking sallow

Popping in the treats, savoring one after the other

She has to eat them quickly, not saving for her brother

Stacking them high, she would eat them all, two-fisted

This is where the tale, gets somewhat rather twisted

She couldn’t eat them, fast enough, so she’d hide them beneath

Her tongue, would hold a mountain full, and even in her teeth

But, she’d given it away, what was once her greatest disguise

Instead, it looked as if this would be, candy’s quick demise

For when she tried to smile, her teeth were stuck together

And so this ends the sweetness, of a little girl named Heather
