I love words in rhyme and like to get with 'em -
Enjoying them more when wedded to rhythm
Keep 'em coming!!

Cheery-ho ? Or is that "Cheerio?! I like the astringent style - at
tasty odds with a lot of the seasonal saccharine.

Comment is about At Christmas time with bells on! (blog)

Original item by Rick Varden

For the moment, I wonder just what is in those 2000 plus pages
and hold back on any judgement of the outcome, not least because
of the oh-so cosy timing of this "agreement". As for Remainers in
general, here's a personal viewpoint:
I wonder if you secretly yearn to know
The satisfaction of saying "I told you so". ?

A fun nod to the most famous (after JC of course) Christmas character. Might add - "Must not suffer from travel sickness". ?

Ah, if everyone in the world was given just one wish right now that would be sure to come true, I'll assume that someone or other on the planet would cover the topics of world peace, equality, freedom of opportunity, robust economy, everyone healthy and happy and all of those sort of things, so I would wish for a life-time supply of delicious calorie free chocolate (for everyone).

Santa eventually came to see me,
But got stuck in my chimney and was rushed to A&E.
He is now lying in ward eight,
The surgeon is ready to operate.
My chimney sweep I will never have back,
I've sent him a text and given him the sack.

Dear Santa,

Please fulfil my wish too, which is that you might do for them what they've asked you to do.

Comment is about Letter to St. Nick (blog)

Original item by Mike McPeek

Footfalls echo in the memory
Down the passage which we did not take
Towards the door we never opened
Into the rose-garden. My words echo
Thus, in your mind.
But to what purpose
Disturbing the dust on a bowl of rose-leaves
I do not know.
Other echoes
Inhabit the garden. Shall we follow?”

Arkles Lane, Anfield Way, that's your patch?
One virtual hug is on its way, just now dispatched.
Though Santa might later bring you the wish you described
This virtual hug, sent just now, should already have arrived.

Comment is about Strange man (blog)

Original item by Stephen Gospage

Thank you Paul and Stephen. Yes, as you suggest, I still struggle with the identity of the strange man. Is he the man in line 2 or a third party? If he is in line 2, there is definitely no one to share problems with. If he's someone else, there is tension in the relationship. Or is there?

As usual, more questions than answers.

I'm signing off for a few days and wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

Thanks Paul - I wanted this to be bit a headscratcher, so I put the opening stanza at the end( a little bit like 2001 maybe), My wife will find that unsettling ..... I do keep my options open and i'm very pleased you found it intriguing!

Happy Xmas to you and Pat too..... All go today cooking - keep going you fool!

Hannah, Stephen and JD Bardo again thanks a lot. Nice to see you on here Hannah.. Thanks too Tony and Stephen.

A Christmas reminder to always be kind
You can never see inside another’s mind
If you cannot think of a kind thing to say
Then please say nothing, it’s best for all this way

I write my poems to exercise my brain,
I walk through words again and again.
And constantly time after time,
Come across words that help me rhyme.

Here, here. I wholeheartedly agree. Hanging out on WOL with our poetic friends from around the world, turns loneliness and misery into a global date with destiny, as we inspire the muse within to fight our battles with the mighty pen! Best wishes for a healthy, happy holiday. ~ V
