There was something about that house. Every day she walked by it, something was different. This time it was the front door, though she wasn’t quite sure what it was that caught her attention. She always admired the brass door frame, but the brown wooden door looked out of place there. Even the railings of the porch steps had touches of brass. Why not go for the extra, and make the door brass also?

Feeling a bit adventuresome, she decided to walk up the steps to get a closer look at the door. She hesitated at first, but didn’t think anything of it. As she got closer, she felt a strange warmth. Touching the door, she realized it wasn’t wood at all, but a rather strange looking metal.  And the heat she felt was emanating directly from it.  Suddenly, in front of her, the door began to melt against the brass frame, until it disappeared, and she with it…

Snow has fallen, the children cheer

They’ve wanted to go out and play

To them, a most favorite time of year

To us, it’s just another winter’s day

When Petals Fall ~ #poetry of #winter

Petals fall in flakes of white

Winter calls, this frosted night

Whipping winds against the pane

Crystals form a frosty mane

Upon the glass that yields the cold

Yet, I shiver as the day grows old

Is it the day or is it me

Who ages like the barren tree

That shivers in the frosted night

When petals fall in flakes of white

Second Guess ~ #poetry #DecemberWriting

He told them to meet him by the old garage

He would teach them a lesson, they’d see

Still, he wondered if any of them would show

Hands in pockets, he made noise, with his keys

Nervously, he waited for the boys to arrive

He thought it would be easy, it was not

And he began to doubt himself, second guess

Was it really all worth it, to be a big shot?

 

Author’s Note:  Parents, please teach your children the importance of kindness to others.  Being a bully isn’t cool, nor is it rewarding.  As the mom of a child who was bullied, I feel very strongly about it.  I did something to stop it, by going through the proper channels, including getting the police involved.  Don’t ignore the signs.  Pay attention.  Please…  For more info visit www.stopbullying.gov

You can feel it in the air, everything is so electric

Shoppers busy buying, stores becoming oh so hectic

Thrilling sights and sounds, yes! Christmas is so near

And of course, there’s Santa, spreading lots of cheer
