QUOTE (Larry @ Dec 14 13, 05:32 ) Hi Aphrodite,
Haven't seen you around for a while. Love your Holiday Classic post and in "Triolet" form no less. Too bad that lots of people have forgotten the "reason for the season".
Loved it, Larry Hello, Larry. Yes, I have not been writing much and on a dry spell for a while now. I am happy to hear from you! Thank you for your kind words and I agree that we need to always remember the "reason for the season." Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Lindi |

An Eastern star, a hallowed sight brought kings of plenty to the child on camels high God’s sky shined light, an Eastern star, a hallowed sight. To Nazareth, bags gleaming bright pure gold, burnt resin, plant oils piled, an Eastern star, a hallowed sight brought kings of plenty to the child. |

The snow is falling lightly down To kiss the season’s b l e s s e d ground As smiling children lose their frown The snow is falling lightly down Bright twinkling lights glow through each town Full hearts at Christmas, all resound The snow is falling lightly down To kiss the season’s b l e s s e d ground
Sweet milk and cookies leave his sign Big Red has snacked and brought the toys And houses smell of mint and pine Sweet milk and cookies leave his sign While toasty fires spread warmth and shine For small and bigger girls and boys Sweet milk and cookies leave his sign Big Red has snacked and brought the toys
December’s meaning makes its mark As people gather on His day To honor Christ the angels hark December’s meaning makes its mark when kings and shepherds trekked in dark to meet the Savior where he lay December’s meaning makes its mark As people gather on His day |

She waits patiently listening for hurried hooves on rooftops, bells jingling, but hears the pounding of her neglected heart in the frostiness of December’s air,
her hands purple and chapped to the bone, placed over a small fire she blows while rubbing hard to generate feeling,
through faint colors of crimson red, emerald green and glimmer gold, a rush of contentment warms her insides as she harks back to Christmas lights curved on snow-powdered bushes in front of her childhood home, a slight smile widens her burdened face,
she closes her eyes and breathes-in scents of peppermint, spice, pine and cinnamon, reminiscent of moments savored with family, her heart weeps,
fantasy soon replaced by echoes of gunshots, a dwindling fire shared in a rusted barrel as city lights fade into the infected blackness of night, the magic of the season lingers while she clenches on to hope. |

QUOTE (Merlin @ Nov 4 09, 06:50 ) Hello Aphro,
Addictions, no matter which one, are difficult creatures. I have friends and acquaintances who succumbed to alcohol, and accepting that takes a bit of doing sometimes.
Best
Merlin Hi Merlin, Thanks for commenting on my poem. It is very hard to watch someone you love fade away. I am sorry for your experience with this. Happy holidays to you. Lindi |

QUOTE (Cleo_Serapis @ Oct 6 09, 14:03 ) Lindi, This is so poignant on many levels. I'm soooo sorry that "the smoking life" consumed your father - but this is a spot-on expression of the coffin, i.e. bed he made - and the wish to have just one more breath of 'clean air'. This is one to make one think!!! HUGS ~Cleo Hi Lori, It is nice to be back! I have many poems about my Dad and how much I love and miss him. This one expresses my sadness and anger, that because of his addiction to cigarettes, I was robbed precious time with him. I appreciate your comments very much! Happy Autumn. |

QUOTE (Eisa @ Feb 17 09, 22:39 ) Hi Lindi I've just called by to say how much I've enjoyed reading your SQ (very well written) My Dad died 5 years ago and I feel much the way you do, longing for all the things we talked about - just to hear his voice. It was kind of comforting to know someone else out there is feeling just the same. Thanks for sharing. Snow Hi Snow, Thank you very very much for your comments. I am very late in replying, but appreciate your kind words. I am deeply sorry for your loss too. It is hard to believe that I haven't spoken to my dad in 9 years, but thank God for my religious belief. When times are especially hard, it helps! Blessings, Lindi |

You lie there, solid and firm, as onlookers gawk and comment on how good you turned out.
They did such a good job, they whisper, like white plaster thrown on hard walls, you just take it.
How you love to hold hands, but not your own, the Rosary Beads d r a p e loosely cross spindly fingers, like drops from tears cried dry.
In the bed you made, you lie cold, a hard box unlike the feathery soft mattress you once fell into.
Consumed by a lifelong toxic cloud, sucking in, you lie ravaged and still.
Oh, but for just one more breath of clean air. |
