Pressure,
Crumbles stone.
Pressure,
Produces diamonds.

When the page was closed
I wept a while

So much beauty seen today
So much gladness in this happy season

So much saddness
None without a reason

My first thought (in Poetry)
Broke me out of my reverie

Leaving me in pain
for those who are so sad

Knowing that in vain
you'd given all you had


"When one door is closed,
a window opens up" for you

Oh, I can help!
I know where the window is!

Yes, come through the window!
Yes, it takes some effort to get through there...

You can do it!
I know you can

Look, look all around you
Here, here in Poetry's Home

HP poets eagerly
waiting to enfold you

Love is the window
Come, come on in!
The Christmas season causes some people pain and it is reflected in their poetry.  This sadness is what prompted this poem.

Release me HP, let me go
I love you more and more and more

"But I have promises to keep
and miles to go before I sleep"
Something to make you laugh, I hope. Thanks to Robert Frost and
Ray Price (I think)
Merry Christmas!

Oh! Mr. Bright Smile
Filled with every thoughts & happy feeling
The cupcake to my heart and the sweetest seranade
You bright up my light
the excitement and the joy I've found
And i knew it from the start that this is

Time to go wild;
Join the pack,
Don't look back.

Time to animalize,
Drop the disguise,
Extend your claws,
Swipe your paws,
Open your maws
And bare your teeth.
Run down the street
With blinders on.

Go primordial.
Try commando,
Eat blue meat,
Crouch and spring,
Do everything
You can
Tonight.
Avoid the trappings
Of civilized man.
Happy New Year

i hope next year
people will get better
this year's been torture
as i suffered through
sins and thoughts of misfortune
not just for me,
many people have come and go
people i always forgot
were getting older and couldn't hold on anymore
the news this year was depressing
each day I turned it on
another shooting, another one held hostage
another fight
the list goes on and on
it seems like people just can't have it any other way
so I'm praying next year
we can all take a breath
sit back and relax
as we smile at the simple things
and I pray that God will shed light
on the problems at hand
so we can become better
instead of blindly going through life
amen.
For anyone who has struggled this year, I have two things to say:
1. You are not alone.
2. Always have hope that things will get better.

Some truths
Are better left unsaid
And I'm not good
At keeping my mouth
