Winter Wonderland Event: Poem Competition

[myawfod II]

My Christmas hopes are soaring,
The atmosphere I'm adoring,
The laughter and the cheer,
Stays with me all year,
Christmas I will never stop exploring!

[Crimson-Wisp]

By the fire we sit
Basked by it's warm glow.
A blanket wrapped
As the flames put on their show.

Relaxed silence
As the hours go by
Peace and calm
Till the clock gives twelve chimes.

"My Angel"
I whispered as I turn to you
A gift in hand
"Please say I do."

I smiled
As your eyes grew wide
A slight blush
For once you didn't try to hide.

You placed the ring on your finger
Which glittered more than the snow
You gave me a kiss and said
"How could I say no?"

We cuddled through the night
Till the room was lit by the sun
Christmas and an engagement
Together in one.

[a sky full of stars]

Amid the bleak midwinter ~ 42.

You lay right there beside me,
Those ripples upon your palm,
Kept me in my sanity,
Kept my simple world calm.

With every falling snowflake,
Your heart would slip away,
Succumb to the cold silence,
I was left to feel today.

My dreams are made of paper,
The crumples and the lines,
You walked upon like snowflakes,
As the ground was hidden in time.

And as I lay a dreaming,
You walked upon the snow,
Your footprints slowly fading,
As I prayed you would not go.

My tears were diamonds twinkling,
As your memory was cloaked in white,
Your soul buried beneath the snow,
As became the twilight.

I know beneath the snow,
Your heart will rest for long,
The winter a muffled silence,
As fades away your song.

A Strange Winter Warm

Strangely warm winter seems to be
Despite the cold wind and snow-covered trees.
With whitewashed snowflakes floating down from above,
Their color pure, innocent like a dove.

Frost creeps overnight to appear in the morn'
Icicles that didn't exist previously, on every branch adorn.
Thick-coated deer trudge their way through
The dense, heavy snowfall underneath the moon blue.

Strangely warm winter seems to be
Despite the frigid winds and cold degree.
Hot chocolate burns its way into shivering bodies,
Whose noses are frostbitten but their smiles are of glee.

Unknown tracks made at an unknown time,
The snow seems to make note of every crime.
Evergreens wilt over in humility
To whomever painted the snow on their pine-needle-leaves.

Strangely warm winter seems to be
Despite the iced puddles and flurries to see.
Although it is chilly and frosty outside
The warming glow of our relatives bring us together with pride.

Alas, how strangely warm winter seems to be
Not because of nature, but because of family.

The Christmas Eve

One that night,
Mary held tight
while Only Jesus mattered
All wise men had gathered

Through the prayers that were sent
They were never bent
All heads held high
Twelve o'clock was way past by


The night went still, raising palms
Air filled with thee songs
Angels getting glimpses through the trees
No confusion went through the mind of He

That night was a while ago
That really doesn't matter so,
We celebrate to this day
Without breaking down in the rain

Were helped make it through
Our sins are only known by who
But let us forget about that stuff
Only open present from generations above.

Hope you have a wonderful Christmas!

Flurries

The tiny crystals float down,
Dancing delicately throw the air.
They chill the wind and coat the ground.
Frozen high in the sky,
Falling down to us.
Snow gives us wonder,
Hope,
Joy,
Spirit.
It fills our soul with goodness.
Snowdrop.

Yes it is! We haven't finished judging everything and would like to wait until we can post all results in the same day. We are a little behind schedule and I apologise for that, but I intend to have everything posted by next weekend, including prizes sent out.
