Causing a bad hair day, oh yes they did.
Went to work at 2 A.M. this morning,
Everything went sour without warning.

I had just pulled into the parking lot,
When a quick surprise, something I got.
The right rear tire had went flat,
Didn't think too much about that.

Turned off the truck to get out,
To see what this was all about.
Well, the handle broke on the driver's door,
But I... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Jim AKA RapidFire) http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/25179 Fri, 11 Dec 2009 19:47:47 GMT <![CDATA[ Christmas Downunder-datylic disaster ]]> http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/25177/t/Christmas-Downunder-datylic-disaster.html long chilly nights with a star for a guard...
Pity down under, it's hot as a cinder,
reindeer avoid ever going outside.

Bearded and bounded by fur 'round his headpiece,
Santa would melt in that red belted suit.
Better bedecked by a golf cap and shed fleece,
antipode children must stay on his route. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (jgdittier) http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/25177 Fri, 11 Dec 2009 15:01:00 GMT <![CDATA[ Enlightenment ]]> http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/25176/t/Enlightenment.html Enlightenment

My Notre Dame de Cardia
and viewed the stations of Kabul
cast in stone?

The school girl
pushing her face
inside slender hands
as if it were fruit
thrust back into its shell
to hide the spoiled pulp,
her acid-burned flesh,

or the shepherd
tending his flock of poppies,
a scythe instead... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Gwendrina) http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/25174 Fri, 11 Dec 2009 12:38:50 GMT <![CDATA[ Born in a Manger. ]]> http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/25173/t/Born-in-a-Manger-.html


In the melodious depths of Winter haze
As onto the fields of tranquil white we gaze
From o'er snow clad distance hills so far away
Floats the merry sound of God's children at play.

Over crystal snow drops, and through pine trees tall
We hear their sweet laughter, and carefree call
And so our hearts sing with such amazing grace,
Then we see deep in our minds, the dear Lord's... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (MrLeslie) http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/25173 Fri, 11 Dec 2009 12:33:46 GMT <![CDATA[ Fisher's Prayer ]]> http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/25171/t/Fisher-s-Prayer.html The Fisher's Prayer

the eternal swell and ripple of grass
barely seen above the surface.
They are the flowers that bloomed
but briefly as the warmth of the sun
captured me then faded to nothingness.

And I am weighted down, slighted by
the lightly drawn days of my wasted
summers as they pass into abaddon,
leaving only great account and culpability
as I become one with the dark angel of the abyss ;... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (bongler) http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/25170 Fri, 11 Dec 2009 10:34:53 GMT <![CDATA[ The Pub's Kitchen ]]> http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/25169/t/The-Pub-39-s-Kitchen.html It waits your recipes, household tips, stories and poems

Hark! Did you not hear a reindeer sneeze?
Or was that the wind song in the trees?
Perhaps the jingle of Christmas chimes
Or maybe sweet elves with festive rhymes?

The snow on the ground is soft as silk
And so pure and white, like mothers milk.
Whilst stars in the sky are shining bright
The moon glows over us, candle bright

which now prompt many memories
which linger happily of you.

I remember the rose
we found in a country lane,
sheltered from the storm,
bejewelled with spots of rain.

Such happy times in those days,
when love was young and strong,
but Fate decreed it should not last
and decided it was wrong.

Again I walk that winter path
surrounded by falling snow,
but happy... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Jean Lewis) http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/25159 Fri, 11 Dec 2009 04:48:44 GMT <![CDATA[ Dancer ]]> http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/25155/t/Dancer.html
I called him Dancer,
dappled grey he was
with coat as warm
as summertime.

His eyes would shine,
so happy when I came,
our time together more
precious held than gold.

Ten years I loved him,
ten years him too,
unbending ever day
we were together.

How beautiful he looked,
the apple of my eye.
I called him Dancer,

storm clouds and black sky
vanish in haste,
for may I point out
I love the sun!

Winds from the north,
east, west or south,
do not come here
thinking of fun,
understand clearly,
I love the sun!

Snow to adorn trees,
some people please,
but grant me a favour,
don't pitch here or freeze.
Magical pictures
you may well paint,
children all love you

for a moment, then running
with it. Hopeless, this trying
to catch the wind,

It sifts through the fingers,
not like sand, but like time
itself, irretrievable time.

No cloud morphing at the will
of imagination, The wind bends
but it is unbendable, It brings gifts,
then takes them back again.

Never a misrepresentation,
more like mis-comprehension,... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (smzang) http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/25147 Wed, 09 Dec 2009 22:05:05 GMT <![CDATA[ Exuberant Red ]]> http://thepeacefulpub.yuku.com/topic/25144/t/Exuberant-Red.html Red cream soda
on a sultry day,
The sky red with summer,
My skin red with sun,
The dreams of a child
tied to a red balloon
rising, soaring,

August's warm fingers
in flaming red hair,
Red on the rosebush,
Redbirds in the air,
Rubescent August
deprived of an R
embellishes the world
with radiant red-orange.

Now summer has passed,
December is here,
