Colorful Christmas

This is a festive poem I wrote as an attempt at being more lighthearted and not too dark in my writing.

I wished for a white Christmas

But it could not be so

For that fat man Santa

Did not send us any snow

I wished for a green Christmas

But it wasn’t meant to be

For as I hung the X-mas lights,

I burned down our great green tree

I wished for a black Christmas

But was not heard by Santa

For Davis could not come and visit

He was stuck in Louisiana

I wished for a red Christmas

But it just didn’t come true

For while flying in the cold weather,

Rudolph’s nose turned blue

I wished for a blue Christmas

But the sky didn’t lend its light

For clouds came over the stars

And covered up their blue light

I wished for a yellow Christmas

While laying awake in bed

But then wished it wouldn’t have happened

For my dog peed upon my head

Autumn

A nature-inspired poem written this fall.

Red bleeds on green

Revealing the once unseen

That gold fades to yellow

Falling from the tree

Spring’s effort to grow

Green life before it snows

Seemed wasted later on

When I felt the fall wind blow

If only Time could be wrestled

And convinced not to embezzle

The life in the arms of Nature

So snuggly nestled

Selfish weather always arrives too soon

And has its way, sun or moon,

To steal Summer’s artwork,

The hard-labored-blooms

When I examined the trees myself,

Their leaves destined for frozen hell,

I saw their colors were fantastic

And my attention they held

But the truth could not be hidden

And life could not be given

To restore life to the leaves

So I put on my mittens

After observation, I was betwixt

Knowing this could not be fixed

And death had never been so beautiful

But I shrugged, my feelings mixed
