Christmas Morning

Christmas Morning
©Shadi Shidrawi

sun is out
clear blue skies
a poet so hungry
to catch a rhyme

a rhyme,
an incantation,
an iconoclastic,
endeavor
to obtain
a photograph
of Christmas Morning.

all the wine
evaporated

the goodies
digested

the warmth
of the eve
absorbed

absolutely
absorbed

a new fresh beginning
a dawn for humanity
raises the sun
of Christmas Morning

the three magical Magi
brought gifts of
gold, frankincense and myrrh

the elves accompanied Santa
on his sleigh with dears
and rudolf

Christmas vs xmas
both come once a year
one fills up your heart with joy and hope
&
the other empties your pocket
till you drop

but let's not talk about yesterday's

let's try to portray this day:

Christmas morning
waiting for everyone's blessing

please share your thoughts
in a couple verses
to this poem

as you feed in
all what you've noticed
in posts
so poetic

the surreal and real
of this blessed Christmas day

let this poem grow
but never spam
the surroundings

let this poem flow
with lines you add
to make it glow.

a modest gift
from me to you

an attempt
as
we celebrate
together

as togetherness
brings out
the poet
in you
and me.
