The Turn of the Year

Colourful burst of light
Against the darkness
Of the night
The clocks are churning
The new year is turning
Time for a new hope
And a new future

New Beginnings

“The new year stands before us, like a chapter in a book,
waiting to be written.
We can help write that story by setting goals”
Melody Beattie

New Beginnings

Out with the old, in with the new
May all your dreams, hopes and wishes
For the year 2017 come true!

OK, no more time to stall
So wishing:
Happy New Beginnings to One and All!

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Bread and Circuses aka Happy New Year! 

ny-post-1-a

Bread and Circuses
For any and all purposes
Lights and fireworks
Maybe with some quirks

No time to waste
It is time to celebrate
Let us all unite
Leave our differences, aside

The New Year
We hail
Following
A different trail
Past and present
Already spent
To the future
From now on
We all ascend

Holiday Season (eight)

“Christmas is the day that holds all time together”

Holiday Season

Holiday Eve

‘Twas the night before Christmas
Nothing stirred,
No sound was heard
No human, nor animal, in sight
Even the mice had taken flight
The only ones about their business
Were the little green men from Mars
They had to be really careful
Their nature a little bit fearful
For the holidays not to turn into a farce
It was their turn to spread wholly
Presents and a great amounts of jolly!”

Holiday Fantasy vs. Reality

“I’m dreaming of a white Christmas…”

…Then we woke up
Put the dog out to pee
Decorated the holiday tree
In a soaking, stormy Christmas Eve

Little Red Elf

The little Red Elf
Standing on the shelf
Spreading all the mirth
To the people of this Earth

Holiday Reflections

Silent night, holy night
Time to give up the fight
Time to get quiet
Look at the pretty lights
And know that,
All will be alright

Elves

From yesteryear
A few welcome dears
For this season
Bringing us some cheer
To wash away the tears
And vanquish all fears
They are called
The Elves

Present Overload

Did someone go overboard
With this massive overload
Of holiday presents
Under the holiday tree
Without a good reason
Nor any price of fee?

Well,
It’s certainly not unpleasant
So dig in
It’s not a sin
During this season!

Holiday Hearts

2-a

If you get the holiday blues
Don’t hang around alone and stew
Try to find the lost muse
Even in the decorative fuse
The shiny bright objects
May have a good affect
And sooner than later
You’re back exploring your prospects
