The Inkwell#Socs #reveal
that time of year is here again
someone’s carefully and thoughtfully
bought you something
and placed it under the tree
to unwrap after christmas dinner
colourful wrapping, tags and bows
get lost in the whirlwind
of little hands getting hold of their gift
leaving a tide of colourful paper
to clear up after play is over
#christmas
Someone should have let you know
everyone’s been put on notice
Christmas social’s round the corner
reactions to the news ?
engaging on panic
though its more on what to give than get
Soon – those
anonymous presents – will be wrapped
named and placed surreptitiously under
the tree – reactions ?
anybody’s guess.
#Socs #Box
So,
as you raided the tree
navigating all the pressies to get to your own, did you
take care to check the big red box
at the side of the tree ?
Pleasant surprise
resides inside for you
even the family dog wants you to
see what’s inside
except – though its from santa – theres
no name on the tag….
though theres a pressie everyone will enjoy.

20th April 2020
A gift from the heart, that’s what it is
Really – the monetary value is – irrelevant
Time and care has gone into the creation
Specially made for you
Crafted colourfully and with great thought
Really great to look at, when its in front of the light
As the sun passes through each
Fixed piece of painted glass
Then casting up , down or straight ahead
Something the sun provides
Second day of the Christmas Countdown
everyone knows , that soon this drum major will be
rapping out a tune on his drum – for
gooey chocolate cookies might be guarded by him
expecting little ones to go on a hunt
not knowing where the treasure is hiding
that’s something – the dear major is keeping under his hat
