Re: Your Christmas poems

Pagan Yuletide


The Sun’s arc holds fast,
Twelve days in the sky,
Time to feast,
Think of times gone by.


The wheel of the year,
Turns full circle again,
Hopes of Spring,
Once Winter is slain.


Lanterns in trees,
Against evil, defend,
Wassail and cider,
Time for quarrels to end.


Leaves of green,
Berries white,
Eyes that sparkle,
By candle light.


Friendship and family,
Betrothed hand in hand,
Bright cheeks of children,
All through the land.


The Yule log is lit,
Twelve days shall it burn,
Eyes on the sun’s shadow,
Wait for the season to turn.


White Goddess, the Mother,
Brings forth the new Sun.
Winter is beaten,
The battle is won.



... and my favourite lines from the Wiccan Rede,


"Merry meet and merry part,
Bright the cheeks and warm the heart."

Re: Your Christmas poems

Socks in box !

Socks in a box!
Last Christmas, this Christmas,
and every Christmas;
Socks in a box!
Jane had knickers,
black lace and frilly.
I suppose they imagine
I'm too old for silly.
But socks in box ?
Not even bright coloured
or patterned or jazzy.
Do they really assume
that I wouldn't like snazzy?
Socks in box!
How boring is that?
There's more interest and style
in what they bought for the cat!
Even Janice had perfume,
musky and somewhat erotic;
but socks in a box?
Not my idea of exotic.
Well this year, I tell you,
they're all in for a shock.
For in each gift wrapped parcel
will be ... just one sock!
One sock for Anna.
One sock for John.
One sock for each of them
until, at last, they're all gone!
Socks in a box! Bah!
