 Christmas Day morning

in the first light of dawn

Father Christmas called

boys fast to sleep in bed

silence before excitement

 Nesting 

amongst

the shiny needles

of the Christmas tree

caught in twinkling lights

bright coloured baubles hang

reflecting a world upsidedown 

     on the shiny smooth curved orbs      

     along with stars, candles, ribbons      

and long strands of sparkly tinsel 

shimmering through  everything

they all decorate our lovely tree 

these baubles hold memories 

revisited each festive season 

so enjoy these bright orbs

as they decorate the

Christmas tree

Snowman

Standing

All alone

Proudly in the garden

Coal for eyes

Carrot for a nose

Pipe in his mouth

Smiling happily

All watchful

In a white landscape

Red scarf around his neck

Black buttons down his front

Twigs sticking out for the arms

Looking so smart standing here

Amongst all this wintry scenery 

Watching out for Father Christmas

So then he can go join his friends

At the festive season celebrations

For our winter wonderland guard

Standing there in our garden

Merry Christmas everyone!

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

A 

star

upon

the top

of our tree

shining brightly

a gift for our world

lighting up this merry Christmas season of cheer

sparkling brightly with the many decorations

coloured tinsel, baubles, twinkling lights

bringing great  joy to  the festivities

this little star shines out with joy

proclaiming good will to men

with powdery       snow  falling

the fire side              so warming

this   little                        sweet star

shining                                  brightly

upon                                          the top

 our                                                  tree

Star

shining

on top the tree

our Christmas Tree

tinsel and many baubles

bright sparkling lights that flash

our beautifully tall festive tree

not forgetting all the chocolate Santas

at the bottom there are many different presents

some small little packages and others large and lumpy

all so brightly wrapped with ribbons and bows

casting shadows where the cat could go and hide

wondering if she will sniff out her present before the day

each family has its own traditions when celebrating Christmas

so let us all

give thanks

so Merry

Christmas!

Stormy Times Ahead

 

I remember the storms in the winter when I was a child, we all stayed warm as my parents were prepared for them.  There was always food and a warm bed.   I was looking through some photos and so glad we don`t have to go through those again.  They were fun times though

Stormy Times Ahead!

Stormy times ahead so...

batten down the hatches

stock up the cupboards

then seal all the latches

cold winds blowing

snow is coming

hard rain lashing

stormy times ahead

Block up the doorways

check all windows as well

logs ready for the fire

this`ll be the storm from hell

windows rattling

snow is pitching

Rivers swirling

stormy times ahead

huddled near the fire place

winds howling all around

settled in for the duration

as the storm hits the ground

winds so freezing

snow now falling

fireside blazing

stormy times are here !

Winter Warmth

Winter Warmth 

As winter season has now arrived

and days are getting much colder

 colourful handmade mittens

each one knitted with love

to keep your hands warm

a wintry present

Christmas joy

just for

you!

Mister Robin

Mister Robin 

In muffled silence, Mister Robin sits

little bird prints seen in the snow

wearing his bright red waist

with watchful beady eyes

looking very smart 

this festive time

a cheery chap

brightening

Christmas

day!

Vestry Christmas

 

🐭🧀🎅🎄

Vestry Christmas

snow lays deep outside the wooden door

gusts of wind rattles the windows

a wee fire warms the vestry

a lit candle dimly shines

breath seen in the air

Santa`s kind gift

sweet mouse`s

Christmas

cheese

🎁

vestry Christmas

 

Vestry Christmas

snow lays deep outside the wooden door

a little fire tries to warm up the room

while wind whistles through the cracks

a tiny mouse hides in the gloom

single candle perched on the windowsill

dimly lights a large bible on the table

while the old priest studies the texts

this winter will be cold and miserable

in a corner hangs a threadbare stocking

just in case Father Christmas comes to visit

the little mouse moves towards the fireside

pausing for a moment by the little trivet

near the fire, he slowly starts to warm up

silence broken by a foot step and keys

he finds a little festive gift from Santa 

Merry Christmas and thanks for the cheese!

Ocean`s Partner

Ocean`s Partner

the gentle touch of water

caressing my whole face

waves gently moving

across the ocean`s surface

cold to touch, yet warming

empowering my heart

seas of the world so close

to leave would rip me apart

let the winds whip my hair

in every direct of the dance

stirring up many emotions

an oceans`s loving romance
