Seasons Greetings to you...

Shame. I thought it was a great topic idea. Ok, well lets see if this will generate any ideas. The next prompt is.....Gifts. Make of it what you will.

December


Once tenth and final month,
Your name redundant after
nameless days were gathered into
years beginning.

Embracing winters chilly solstice in the north,
Or heated golden languor...

Well a two horse race eventually and two such different pieces.
I hate having to choose but am going to go simply with the one that appeals to me most and that is.......
YesNo.

Congrats YesNo...

Only one day left before I call this so if you want to enter now's the time.......

C'mon guys. Who is prepared to give YesNo a run for their money?.........

A great start YesNo. Who else is going to rise to the challenge?

Thanks so much guys. :)

Thanks tonywalt. Praise indeed. *Blushes*

Muscles balk, daring to challenge
the mind that forces them on,
A will made strong by memories
of graves gone by.
The latest only yesterday.
A friend, contemporary,
One who shared the last...

Well. After long deliberations I must say this has not been an easy choice. Thanks to all three of you for such wonderfully thought provoking entries.

One more day if anyone wants to get in an entry!

Just realised I never set a deadline for this contest so lets give it until midnight on Sat 23rd of this month. (BST) Plenty of time for those of you still thinking about it to join in. :)

...and we have a contest! Three fantastic entries so far. Lets see how many more of you can step up to the challenge. :)

Thanks Tailor, what a great start! That's really set down a challenge. :)

Thanks for the great prompt and granting me the win Danik and thanks tailor and yes/no for the congrats I really loved both of your poems.
The next subject will be 'Crossing Borders' use it as you...

A vampire a ghost and a cat
Went into a bar for a chat
said the ghost with a grin
Puss and I will have gin
Bloody Mary will do for the bat.

Wheel of fortune

If I spin the wheel of fortune
Will my life become care free,
Will my pockets never empty,
Will my wife come back to me,
Will this pain I suffer leave
and will my heart sing...

A wonderful array of entries. Thanks to everyone, it has not been an easy choice.
My favourite lines are -

As a shadow moves it leaves little behind except a slightly cooler temperature that...

This is going to be so difficult to judge! Any one else care to enter the fray? You have until midnight tonight.

Many thanks to you all. Sorry for the delay but have been away for a few weeks.
I would like the next topic to be your shadow. Deadline will be 27th of this Month.
Good luck.

Lulled by gentle, pulsing beat,
Away from gaudy, noisome life,
You float contented, warm, replete,
Unthinking of the constant strife
that will prevail once you are free,
When pain has ripped you...

Congratulations and very well done stephofthenight. :)
