Red Suit

AuburnScribbler

 

The boy, who plays the man,

swells with joy, with festive plan,

in mind, he puts on a red suit,

to find those gifts, those friend salutes,

wrapping goes well, but the cello-tape,

re-tells that lasting “where’s my end?” jape,

but after a few drams, all is complete,

apart from a smile, from a happy street!

  • Comment from author about the poem: This short poem is about the "Santa Claus" in me, that comes alive around this time of year. Even if it's a chat/pint for a friend who needs company, or an engraved piece of art for a loved one, a thoughtful gift, can give a small amount of cheer, that can be the fuel for them to look forward to things to come. Accompanying the poem is a clipart picture of a cheery Santa with his sack of gifts, which I thought adorns the poem very nicely. I hope that the exchanging of gifts wherever you are; goes well, and that you have a Happy Christmas. I hope that you enjoy the poem, and as always stay safe everyone.

    Christmas feel
    With Santa inside
    Even if it’s fantasy
    It brings the child outside
    Christmas around the corner
    Hopes pile and eagerness for santa to arrive
    Very poetic dear poet

        Drink and dine with merry and wine
        Shall serve the blessings and wishes on that side
        Merry Christmas to you too my dear friend
        Wishing upon the shooting star flying high up in sky

          so rare, to find festive cheer
          that's not feigned or tainted
          my darting eyes of despair..
          thank you!
          for reminding me
          why the child, within me
          once enjoyed this festive season,
          what a gift you inked, dear poet
          hope you have
          a fantastic Christmas
          and a happy new year,
          stay safe, but remember
          to enjoy yourself
          have that extra slice
          and a few more sips, than you should
          rejoice, in simply
          being alive and free 🍻

            Thanks for the read L. B. Mek...

            In these times so troubling,
            Our worries be doubling,
            But with natural humility,
            We continue with activity,
            With our strong intentions,
            Void of sad interventions,
            So, grab a glass and fill it,
            For "God's" sake don't spill it,
            Drink to you, drink to me,
            Just delve into festive revelry!
