White Blanket

AuburnScribbler

 

Kids make loud alarms,

they’re caught in the act,

reaching for the cookie jars,

their parents do react,

but as the curtains wave,

a white blanket can be seen,

thus, becomes the maestro,

of all their joyous screams,

 

everyone’s in the cold,

so, fleeces are put on,

some “alphas” they go bald,

jacked Santas sing their song,

makeshift sleds are made,

babes on TV trays,

no heart seems to shiver,

such beautiful displays,

 

so welcome solace is,

after recent sour years,

where things made their miss,

and brought about the tears,

as snowball fights endure,

those horrid things do fall,

in a world apart, that still remains,

old errs, still appal,

 

then the Sun and rain arrive,

to take white blanket home,

they keep memories alive,

by scrolling down their phone,

where smiles are the warmth,

and community is the strength,

an example, that’s to warn,

all those who make contempt.

  • Comment from author about the poem: The second of my "Noel Notes". Recently in my home town, Newark, Nottinghamshire, England, UK, weather wise, it became very festive indeed, just look at the above accompanying picture, it's like a Christmas card. So I thought I would write this poem, to bring to all of you; a little cheer. But also, some of it, is written in both an empathetic and frustrative tone, as Christmas may well be coming for me; and many others, war still remains for so many people. I hope that you enjoy the poem, again, have a good Yuletide, and as always, please do stay safe everyone.

    3 tears of war on the blank.

    • AuburnScribbler

      Thanks for the read Dark (I mean Lorenz), and yeah, I agree, another three years added, to humanity's continued decided ignorance, and barbaric division.

      If you think about it, in practice, it would seem that the evolution of mankind results in us becoming more moralistically stupid, and by consequence, becoming angrier. You would have thought that "evolution" would incite a somewhat progress, or, if one is so bold to say such a thing, "improvement", but it would seem that our core operation, and in our "evolution", it would seem the more we exist, the more we are destined to fail with such a base morale, it's such a disgusting pill to swallow, but again, with all that we've done to ourselves and the planet, I can't help but think, we have a duty to improve, so I cling onto some hope.

      I hope that all is well.
