J AND K CHRISTMAS 2016

Introduction

Christmas is a wonderful time of year. The best time of year even if it can be the saddest for many. However sad as Christmas may for some, it can bring comforting memories of lost loved ones, or those we haven't seen in a very long time.  And of course there is Christmas in general and love of family, decorations, traveling, its different things for different people. Christmas is love, and snow, and coziness. I'm speaking for myself, and my love of Christmas which I know I inherited especially from my father who always loved Christmas too. Decorating our large tree every year 

Since 2012 I have been publishing my Christmas edition of poetry and short stories, and many have enjoyed the editions. These editions are still available on Amazon, but I will like to do something different this year. I will be adding the book on Tablo, and there will be no short story. 

2016 has been a rough year so I kept the book simple this year. But I love Christmas, and still wanted to put out a book so here it is. Enjoy.

Old Christmas

Christmas as it was

When childhood ran in halls,

And Pop's tree had stood tall

It showered love for all.

 

Lights that draped the green

Observe all that's serene,

And childhood stood in awe

With precious Christmas dreams.

 

Christmas as it was

When childhood ran in halls,

To run around in fun

Don't run into walls.

 

Christmas as it was

Together as we were,

The gifts unwrapped at twelve,

Old Christmas time can tell.

Green Tradition

Blue tree, Red tree

Purple or gold?

Christmas is coming

Should we dispose of the old?

I'd settle for green

Tradition for me,

Oh Christmas tree

It's that time to see.

 

We deck you with lights

Some white, and some colored,

But green are your leaves

Tradition that follows.

A white tree can do

Tradition somewhere;

But I choose my green

My childhood is there.
