Sunday’s Week in Verse – 27 December 2015

img_5612
Sometimes I have to ruminate a bit on Sunday’s aggregated verse. But this past week had a mostly singular focus in anticipation of family gatherings and all our highest aspirations for love, joy and peace. Even some of the writing prompts followed seasonal themes. 

I give you then, this week in verse with the hope that you found all of those things in your corners of the world too. Happy happy!

Sunday’s Week in Verse – 27 December 2015

Like frost-kissed stardust!
It would most certainly come true.
Time and grace have helped…
Under friendly fire.
Except for the rain.
They played for hours
Competing light shows.
Dust covers each inch
our days are numbered
All sentiments of hope for peace, with wishes warm and bright.
“Surprise me!”
Hey what am I?
Merry Happy HanuHoliChristIvus to You!
…not found in giving things
…practice kindness.

If you’re new to this blog, a bit of background to explain the verse above. It is a line from each poem or prose from the previous week. Lifted and placed in the order written. A snapshot review of the week. It helps me to prepare for the upcoming week with a clean the slate


Munificence & Bonhomie – Friday’s (and Saturday’s) Word (s) of the Day Haiku

This week’s words of the day go hand in hand! And they each represent the best of this season..light, love, joy, peace, happiness. May you know munificence and true bonhomie this holiday and throughout the coming year!

  
True munificence
Is not found in giving things
But Love, peace and time.

  

They practice kindness
Those diplaying bonhomie
Know true happiness.

Merry Happy HanuHoliChristIvus to You!

“I’m George, kitty in charge, and I am going to make sure this Santa Claus dude remembers that I live here. I have always lived here…even before they brought Doofus over there home. Well, they call him Douglas. The thing is, he gets all the good stuff now. Hey what am I? Chopped tuna?”

“So I put together a list. Nothing fancy. I like those feather toys and the crunchy treats. Uh, and Santa? If you could slip me a bit of catnip I might survive all the gaiety around here and make it to next year! Merry Merry!”

A Surprise Limerick

 
“Surprise me!”she often said.
Two words that filled him with dread.
No matter the choosing
he ended up losing.
Now she does the planning instead!
