Winter’s Night- A Collaboration

A collaboration with Carol Anne

Red suit in moonlight
Footsteps hush the sleeping house—
Snow listens, bells breathe 

Sleigh glides through the night,  
Jolly laughter fills the air—  
Magic on the roof.

Merry Christmas-A Collaboration

Collaboration with Carol Anne

Midnight bells ring soft and clear,

Evergreen boughs bring winter cheer.

Ribbons shimmer, candles glow,

Reflecting warmth in drifting snow.

Yuletide songs in harmony.

Carols fill the frosty air,  

Hopes and dreams beyond compare.  

Reflections dance in candlelight,  

Inviting love on this special night.  

Snowflakes twirl, a graceful flight,  

Together we share joy and delight.  

Moments cherished, laughter shared,  

Around the tree, we feel cared.  

Spirits lift as hearts unite.

Save Her

Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Anthony, mylovexpressionsblog.wordpress.com

I can hear her screams

Punctuating the darkness

I think she needs help

In this night so deep and dark

There is hope for her, I feel

Juxtaposition

Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Anthony, mylovexpressionsblog.wordpress.com

Juxtaposition

Opposes all the others

From their point of view

Arguing while suffering

Contrasting views must be heard

Barefoot

Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Anthony, mylovexpressionsblog.wordpress.com

Remove shoes and socks

Then walk on the ground barefoot

The earth holds your feet

Feel the connection to earth

Nature’s energy flows deep

Quote for December 22,2025

“Someone will declare, ‘I am the leader!’ and expect everyone to get in line and follow him or her to the gates of heaven or hell. My experience is that it doesn’t happen that way. Others follow you based on the quality of your actions rather than the magnitude of your declarations.” ―Bill Walsh

Pugs

They might look like slugs
but they are actually pugs
With squishy faces and curly tails,
They play and bark, wagging their trails
