Christmas

Kaci Tami

Free verse
Christmas
Is the one
Day of The year
That I look forward to
Not because of the presents received
But it is the day I am allowed to choose
Whatever I want for breakfast, lunch
Dinner and tea and snacks in between
Instead of the usual meals mum makes me
Like the very colorful and healthy salad roll
Ham and cheese or the vegemite sandwich
I can simply eat meat and lots and lots of it
I could eat roast beef and plumb apricot sauce
Or turkey on rye or my favorite Greek salad
Or simply pig out on fried chicken and chips
But best of all it’s the day grandma, grandpa
And all my cousins, aunts and uncles
Come to my house for the day
And we all get to eat, drink and play
And best of all open our pressies
That’s Santa’s left out
Under the
Evergreen
Xmas tree
That’s why
I love Christmas!

I am an aspiring writer, poet, teller of tales that is me. I have always seen things in a different light and from my perspective, it gives you an insight into what makes me tick as a human being. My life is always hectic and the most important thing I have learnt is that there are three things that one should value in life (a) Your loved ones (b)Your health (c) The memories you create with people. In the end, we all leave this world alone, so spend time creating memories and meaningful relationships with individuals and society at large. My poems reflect my perspective on the world at large both real and imagined. I am in the process of collating an anthology of poems so I can share my likes, dislikes and life with others. Thank you for reading my poems more…
