Jam here through the holidays!
Welcome!
Post your spontaneous poetry & images to this thread. Bring your own muse or get inspired by the muse of others.
Seasons cycle,
daylight wanes then brightens,
all life renewed by light & rhythm,
the insistence of an incessant star dance,
our earth on a tilted axis drawing a circle
around the sun, and the whirl of life revolves.
Though we cannot solve a winter
mystery, we can discover our journey
connected to each other, lovers of
words and art in an infinitely creative universe.
Because together we can light the world!

Re: Jam here through the holidays!
A
quiet fall
of snow
whitens night's field
unwritten, sandlike
upon tomorrow's shore.
Tomorrow is the blessed eve
Lords and Ladies, leaping,
dancing, holy abandon, ecstatic rites.
In dense, secret forest, legends gambol, rise
honorably to masters, age in inebriates.
Spirits imbue damp, fresh scent.
Words melt, evaporate, flavor brew
of ancient melodies, renewed
each Winter's Eve.
Picture each animated creature enlightened
Each candle warmly, brilliantly ignited
Animated faces dance with excitement
Creature comfort gifts encircle trees
Enlightened pleasures whirled in peace
Winter's doorway
The magick of night
The clearness of cold
Stars glittering tales so old
Cradle, caress, with blessing
Saints, sages, wizards, mages
Message writ on high, in constellations
we stop to see, to read.
Cold is slowness, a force
of inertia, a space,
a pause in time.
Dark carries reflection -- any
fancied face or fortune
could be in reach.
Seasons speak
call in hues, in moods.
We praise passages, echo rites.
Children chasing Moonbeams
to believe in hope, joy, love
because we need the light,
the warmth, the colours.
Joyful Season to all ~

Re: Jam here through the holidays!
One candle, then two,
each lit from the other,
sister to sister, brother
to brother,
we can light the night
around the globe,
a love-flicker, bold and brave,
a wave of illumination,
the creation of hope.
And the libra moon shines.

BEANS FROM UNESCO
By Steve Plonk
Beans, they make our vision smart,
Right on, right from the start,
Beans such a wonderful fruit,
Jelly beans are especially cute...
Love them beans & they love me,
We eat them beans from sea to see
We eat them whether high or low,
We eat them rain, sun or snow,
Beans, they make vision start,
Beans by truckload cart...
Oh yeah, sweet beans either jelly or Boston,
Green, French, no matter what they costs 'em,
Such lima beans we mix with corn a-dash,
Makes that wonderful succotash,
Or if we mix limas & corn in fifty-fifty,
The results when boiled is really nifty...
Beans by the truckload cart,
Beans get us going from the start,
Beans are such a wonderful veggie fruit,
Jelly beans are especially cute...
Black-eyed peas are really kinda beany,
Then mix 'em with cornbread to
Make it less grainy,
New Years Day with a mess of collards,
With a dash of vinegar in our innards...
Beans, my friends, make brains really smart,
Get up with vigor with beans for your heart,
Eat messes of beans in beanie-weanies
We never can forget those chili beanies...
If everyone had a mess of beans,
None would go starving,
With just a bit of lamb to be carving,
Add 'em to rice and make a type of pilaf,
Of that concoction one can never get enough...
Beans, beans, for a hungry world,
Beans in a new green spring under
UNESCO flag unfurled...

Re: Jam here through the holidays!
The least amount of daylight in an orbit
'round the sun, winter solstice comes and
we hum a rotation song, long for a new spin,
light another candle which resembles
a spirit-spark within, and oh how we are
connected, another year's days inspected
one by one, our lives having touched by
words we've spoken, our beings a woven
fabric and it is magic, indeed, magic,
the way our lives mesh, each holiday
a stage play, some having
exited, some who still remain,
memories tied together
with a bow.

Re: Jam here through the holidays!
May the northern hemisphere
Winter sun find you warm,
In the southern hemisphere spring,
May you with the birdies sing...
May the gifts of the seasons
Keep on giving
No matter where in the globe
We happen to be living...
There are seven billion of us
Here on this fair terra,
Let's all celebrate the time we have
Together, online,
Let's not be "contrera"...
We move around during
These holiday times, entralled,
Lighting candles, giving,
Festive gifts to all...
We celebrate the dark turning into light,
Not letting loved ones far from our sight...

Apple blossoms
and cherry trees
lumps of coal
and bumble bees
a scrap of paper
and one blue eye
a couple of trucks
passing by
cardboard boxes
and radios
a piece of glass
and two big toes
a string of lights
and a can of corn
a baby seal
that just got born
a pair of slippers
under a bed
a broken cookie
and a dog named Fred
nothing profound,
nothing deep,
i just thought i'd write
'cause i couldn't sleep.

Re: Jam here through the holidays!
It's puzzles in the boxes
and in the wrappings.
I tied a little ribbon round the middle,
to clasp things.
I'm picturing her already
falling to pieces for over and over,
"Where does it fit."

Re: Jam here through the holidays!
the roller coaster
is slowing down
(weather pirouettes
gave us common ground)
time to jump -lightly-
or rest in our seats
