Best Year End Poems

Another Year is coming to a end, What a year it truly has been.
Life has changed in so many ways, this is the year my Husband walked away.
I don’t think I will fully understand, why he left or what part was my hand.
I have learned...

Third is Charity 
And fourth the Fauna

With Christmas and New Years  approaching, I just wanted to remind everyone of the importance of generosity. In Buddhism, there are four fields of merit: Our parents/elders,...

Yards have lost their Santas.
			Yuletide glow is fading.
			You change calendars and
			yield two thousand sixteen.
			Young ones hear repeats of
			yarns their elders tell, till—
			YAWN! Happy New Year, all!

Another year will end with cheer
one more shall soon arrive, no fear
But how they make such a fine din
as one falls out and t’other in 
while I will wince, holding my head and festive beer

Not soft and gentle their approach
I’ve asked them both, but they...

Night cicadas
Feisty echoes;
Shadows glide

~~~~~~~~~


Late night market
Noisy bargains;
Crowds congregate

~~~~~~~~~


Shoppes by the Bay
Festive fare;
Crowded feet prompt

~~~~~~~~~


Window shop
Grand displays call;
Christmas spree

~~~~~~~~~


Old lovers
Downtown magic;
Spicy moments

~~~~~~~~~


Transit train
Hordes emerge;
Private escapades

~~~~~~~~~


Proof coins
Precious metals entrance;
Fancy outlook

~~~~~~~~~~


Lovely feelings
Wonder prompts;
Scented spice floats

~~~~~~~~~


Insight comes
Mystic glimpses;
Wonder floats

The Rebuke.....

By the authority, faith and power of Christ and holly spirit,
All the evil attitudes against a human at this time of year,
Instead of people enjoying their lives,
They lost their lives and becomes crippled on world roads,
Evil that is sent to the hospitals to take...

All through the year it's been coming
the months, weeks and days countdown
then in that final month of the year
all the pressure makes one frown

It's the fastest paced month by far
everything's a gogo in December
all pointing to Santa time at Christmas
be ready get all the pressies...

After 365 days of
Balancing our daily routines,
Caring for our loved ones,
Daring to dream of relaxing days - yes,
Even after realising it's all
Futile, we still wait to have our
Great days, our very own
Happy mornings - long live our
Imagination; But let's not just
Judge the year gone past,...

If Jesus is still the king of the light,
I declare in his name,
All the pots of human blood,
All the buckets used  to fetch human blood,
They must all go dry this time,
There in the kingdom of the dark,
Human flesh must run out,
The light must enter...

as the night fall
the ball on the wall
is about to fall
lots of people
ar around
to listen  in the cool breed
the
NEW YEARS EVE 
COUNT DOWN...

Year End 2020
By Franklin Price
12/27/2020

The year of 2020
Almost over, said and done
Four more days 'til ended
As a year, was not much fun

Healthfully and politically,
Was one of fear and dread
Hope '21 is more adult
A better year instead

If 2020 had been eyesight
Would have been the best of...

Normalcy seemed to resound 
like a year-end brag letter,
for out of reach are those possibilities
when locked up in a ward.

Voices itched inside her body 
and creepies crawled along her skin.
Scheduled meds didn't cessate this,
just kept the demons from screaming
loud enough for others to hear.

I ask...

Dogs recognize me, own me,
cats tolerate the space I move in.
Long nights have concertinaed the days
into narrowing perspectives,
yet still a pencil thin sunrise
is worth getting up for.
 
I hear a train coming
it is loaded with happy waving children;
they lean out of the window
their gaily colored...

When teachers tell you at the beginning of May,
"The end of school is 30 days away!"

30 days sounds like a piece of cake but look at the calendar.
So many days filled with tests and volunteering, not laughter...

So you prepare yourself for what is to come.
Soon...

Year - end night here waits to birth 
Lovelier princess, vaccine girl   
Mountain high does labour earth  
Squeaking rat now, leaps for a whirl.
