Hey, guys! I use to post Poetry Challenges all of the time, and I wish to start doing some more. They'll be random challenges that could pop up weekly, monthly, to every few months (if I forget).

Since Christmas is Wednesday, (holy cow), let's start off with a Free Verse Christmas poem!


It's simple...


It doesn't matter how long it is, if it rhymes or doesn't rhyme, all that matters is that it's about Christmas. It could be on the things you love about Christmas, on the things you dislike about it... Just be sure to have fun with it!

They say Christmas is a magical time
but what if magic
isn't approved by customs;
doesn't reach overseas
even with that overnight shipping
you tried to get on Christmas eve?


Stare at the Christmas tree
a dozen dozen shiny glass
orbs and stars and snowflakes
colorful like
the ribbons on his chest,
the ribbons on mine

Remember how the music sounded
back when enlistments
and pay grades
and tours of duty
were unfamiliar words

Wish for a minute
but
don't wish too hard
that maybe
the base won't be so empty
the government won't be so broke
the C.O. will take pity
and a sleigh will come
around the world
carrying santas in khaki
whose boots will break the snow
over home soil.
 
Is it Chistmas time already?
According to the stores it was months ago
Priorities need to be straightened
So the sales of winter gear stops
Interfering with Hallowe'en
And maybe be less about the gifts
And more about the family.

The snow may not fall,
The times may be hard,
But with the lights all lit,
And the cheer all around,
We watch the sun set,
With hot cocoa by the fire.

We wake with the sun,
To look out at the frosted ground.
With smiles we descend,
Upon a family-made scene,
The tree all lit,
The gifts all around.

Children go first,
Finding their presents,
Squealing and jumping,
Ecstatic and overjoyed.

Next comes adults,
Calm and cheery,
With each gift given.

Now to Christmas dinner,
With the ham and the sweet potatoes,
Everyone happy,
Everyone smiling.

After hours and hours,
Fun and games and smiles,
It is time for bed.
It is almost over.
Christmas has come,
And now it will go.
 
Wonderful job, you guys. <3 I loved ALL of them. Thank you so much for taking time out and doing the challenge! ;3
 
Thank you!
It was nothing, I love doing challenges ^-^
 
As a child it was pleasent
Sadly it came only once a year
But now your An adult
So it brings you to tears

Whine of toys echo the air
The children are greedy
The love birds are touchy
And way too needy

The sales are showing up
Around all the stores
The in laws Are coming
Quick lock all the doors!

Her mother is vegan
His farther drinks beer
It's the same old story
Just like last year

Get the kids present
Or they'll throw throw a fit
Smile!
Act cheery
Thou you feel like shit

Good luck going shoping
Without missing some teeth
As Martha the bitch
Just took the last reath

Then get on the ladder
Make your house glow
As you trip on a wire
And land in the snow

It's freezing each morning
As you wish to stay in bed
With a nice fluffy pillow
Warm covers over your head

Now is the day
We all dread the most
Everyone's in your house
You are the host

Prepare the food just right
Shower, get dress
Spend several hours of the day
To try and impress

Once everyone leaves
The gossip is spread
You just can't wait to
Just lay on your bed

Christmas Time

It's a time of excitement,
Of anticipation and joy.
It's a time full of magic and wonder
That makes children's eyes sparkle.
It's a time of family and friends,
Of sharing love and laughter.
It's the season of brotherhood and giving,
Passing along good will towards men.
Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year.
 
Thoughts on Christmas

A day of joy for all to attend
Where we celebrate the birth of the lamb
Were every hands of men will lend
to spread the happiness throughout the land
Townsfolk sang songs in immaculate chorus
Workers in a fit's of joy for their Christmas bonus
Where magically decoration will bet set
and people saying *MERRY CHRISTMAS * throughout the net


Cheers and songs, feast and dances
Hours of friendly banters filled thee air
Rigorous party's held in the town hall
It's a kicker in the ball
Start the jolly songs
Till all men and women laughs and joy filled thee air
Merry men spin around like a cog in a dance
And women talk and will join in the dance
Satisfied they all are, they went to bed


And as all men and women, Child and old, Good and Bad,
Has fallen asleep
Then will Saint. Nicholas (With no cage)
Appear with his Magical Reindeer
Clutching big sacks of gifts in his big great arms
Jumping down the chimney
To give everyone their wonderful presents



So thus the end
