Did you get a Kindle for Christmas?
If so then I’m betting you’re chomping at the bit to start filling it with books.

There are Kindle books for every age, taste, and curiosity with prices that make them worth the risk of stepping outside of the big boys. You might find a gem that you never knew existed.

Another Christmas
Another Christmas
Filled with anticipation
It comes then its gone
Will spirit leave as quickly
Resulting in depression
The gifts are opened
Dinner and dessert are done
Family–friends gone
What have we left of Christmas
When all excitement passes on

Youth Breeds Fearlessness (Tanka)
Youth breeds fearlessness
Something traded for wisdom
Or lost to aging
Only by progenies birth
Is their error realized

O’ Heavenly Star

Carols By The Fire (Tanka)
We Drink Because We’re Poets – We Drink Inspiration – Poetry Prompt #006
Carols by the fire
Electric Yule log ablaze
Singing out of tune
Like the late great Lawrence Welk
We’re drunk on tiny bubbles

At This Joyous Time of Year (Acrostic)
At this joyous time of the year
Venerated throughout these many centuries,
Are not earthly goods transacted without thought to the season,
Raising questions of greed and desire?
Is this not the poignant warning
Charles Dickens ghosts so eloquently foretold?
Evil lives in the seven deadly sins.

Our Freedom of Speech (Tanka)
Our freedom of speech
Guaranteed since inception
Undeniable
But just because we can speak
Doesn’t always mean we should

How Odd It Is At This Ponderous Time (Sonnet)
How odd it is at this ponderous time
The bridge we cross ‘tween joy and sorrow.
Meant to share in Christmas rhyme
Instead we fret about tomorrow.
Is not this day of bread and drink,
Of Christ and gifts and family and friends,
To mean much more than what we think,
Yet still we stifle good will towards men.
We forgo a day to celebrate in joy,
As many can give no more than tears.
Another year their dreams destroyed;
They should not suffer torment and fears.
Amongst the presents and lights and bows
Be certain the kindness of Christmas does show.

Sullied by Liars (Tanka)
Sullied by liars
Sleight-of-hand and trickery
Their fickle trademark
Yet we embrace with naivety
–Split-tongued devils among us
