In a year no longer roaming
safe inside our minds
we christmas lost time
wrapping up memories.
I would open them for you
gazing on your happy
sharing magic you sing
your beautiful heart.
Will you holiday your song
rainbow love to us
unwrap tomorrow together
help us all run free?
Seriously Rob- nailed it 👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, Reenie!
Hahaha… Reenie, that was the line I was going to use😊
Anyways Rob, I knew you were going to use these words: magic, holiday etc…I knew it.
I think I saw it in your previous poem.
You’ve carved a niche around imagery and I like it…Great work Rob🌹
Thank you so much, Monday! That’s my first Christmas write…
Yes you figured out my niche the way I figured out yours! Beautiful stunning words strung together 👏👏👏👏👏❤️
Flying like father in frost
for fine hours when eyes fall.
Smiling at love not little
but gendered around the table.
Clattering, iron hisses, and crunching of home cooked cuisines.
Hugs, kisses and warm cuddles
at night when cold air breeze in.
Stories of how we loved each other
told on bed as we fondle.
That’s what I see tru your eyes; that’s what I see when you smile.
Christmas is a spirit that captures our imaginations as we stop to look through your eyes. Beautiful, Monday.
For my dear wonderful friend Abuh 💛 Hustling bustling
Tis the season
People push and shove
Even grabbing the last gift
I’m screaming
In my head
I find a bench
Sit down
I’m on my last nerve
Then I look at
You my beautiful
Little daughter
You are staring at the lights
You tell me pretty
And I agree with you
Suddenly the fights
Out of me
I want to see Christmas through your eyes
I take you
To see Santa
It’s a magical time
You laugh and giggle
And Pull his beard
I take a picture of you two
One comes out like
there’s a halo over you
I step back to n surprise
And suddenly I realize
It’s a sign- I am seeing
Christmas though your eyes.
Magical words!
Very magical Reenie…I must admit that I love the bond you have with your daughter. My prayer is for her to get well.
And for the poem, it is a free verse that runs on with a consistent plot, even to the end. I love the part you talked about holding Santa’s beard…very funny.
Thank you Abuh- Didn’t you ever sit on Santa’s lap and pull his beard.
That was one of my favorite things to do. Anyway I appreciate the compliment on my poem! Verde Is right ( don’t tell anyone ) but people could pick out my poetry from a mile away. Love you Abuh 👏👏👏👏👏🤗❤️🤗❤️ Are you really loved your Poem! 👏👏👏👏👏👏🤗❤️🤗❤️
Thanks Reenie. 😊
