Christmas Poem (2008)

At Christmas time
We all fall asleep
In front of the TV
Watching Mary Poppins.

Eat too much Christmas pud
Christmas cake
Turkey (and stuffing)
And drink too much wine.

Get cards off people
You don’t expect
At the last minute
Who you haven’t seen in years.

And get poems like this
on cards
which beats watching TV
for a few sec...

CHRISTMAS POEM (2007)

The cold started early that Christmas day
With a slight chill in the air
As a frosty mist creeped
Past my touch
Up around the lamp-post
Near the train station.

The sky was a deep
Shade of purple
And I could see a snowman
That looked like it
Had Christmas tree lights
Sticking out of its head.
It had sticks that made
It look like it had huge ears
And had its arms
Stuck o...

CHRISTMAS POEM (2004)

My memories of Christmas
Are long and varied of endless dark nights
Scattered in my father’s deep footprints
When he would firmly say
‘Make sure you walk behind me’

I can’t remember how deep the snow was
Whether it was so deep
I would sink into it
Like quick sand
If I didn’t follow
My fathers instructions to the letter.
Or whether time plays tricks
On my me...

Christmas Poem (2005)

On Christmas day
You held a snowball in your hand
Before dropping it
Down onto the ground
Laughing
When I ask you
What you are doing?

I can see
The smile in your eyes
As the wind
Brushes your hair
In your face
As you look
Down at the ground
And whisper amazing.

‘What’s amazing?’
I ask puzzled
‘You are’
and reply
and kiss me
and then hit me
on the back o...

Dear all;
This is the direct sequel to Christmas Poem (2005)

CHRISTMAS POEM (2006)

Once you had hit me on the
Back of my head with a snowball
On Christmas day
After kissing me on the cheek
And telling me you loved me
I started coughing quite violently.

You came back running back
Down that white laced hill
In a bit of a panic
Blushing totally and said
'Oh my god, I didn't mean it
I didn't m...

Dear all;

Here is my Christmas Poem from 2003!

Portrait of Christmas (2003)

Stumbling across darkened footsteps
And cracked chasms
We stood there together
But never more alone.

The wind had began to stir
Slowly with sea like sonds
As clouds began to mumble
Before finally releasing drops of snow.

Like shadows cast by street light
T...

Dear all;

Here is another Christmas Poem - this time from 2002

View of Winter Trees (2002)

And leaves which have
Fell off the
Trees like peeled logs.

The image still sinks
In your mind,

Like childhood games
Lost in
Dunes of snow.

The image still sticks
In your mind

Like a view of
Trees asleep
In darkest winter....

Dear all;
Not a common known fact is the fact since 2001,
I have placed a special poem about Christmas
On Christmas Cards for pals.
Most off these haven't being published since
And I thought in the run-up to Christmas time,
I would try and publish some off these.
All I will say is please bear in mind while
Some of these may be very different from my
Current poems, I thought you would...

Dear all;
Here are two new poems...

NOTHING TO SAVE (IV)
Tell me again
What you mean.
Tell me again
Stood at deserted
Train stations
With snow sweeping in
From nearby hills
All over our hands
And our feet.
And when the snow
Turns to slush
Making us feel
Like we are children
On the run from Narnia
Tell me again.
And then let me go
