Merry Christmas | Poetry

By Colleen James

BLACK FRIDAY!

CYBER MONDAY!

These words assault us from all sides.

When I hear the words “stocking stuffer”

I think of my foot

Which I’d like to place (you know where)

What happened to

The wonderful quiet hours

Spent searching for that perfect gift ?

Christmas carols sung with loved ones

Shy kisses beneath the mistletoe

And wishing for peace and love ?

What happened to the simple greeting

That I offer to you now………

MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!

Peace and love
