[hometext] => Personal experience makes for the best writing I think
[bodytext] => Mama says Santa will come Like all of the years before To visit the good girls and boys Who remembered to do all of their chores? Mama says that for Christmas He will bring us food and toys But where is our chimney How will he get to me? Mama says we don't need a chimney And not to fill my heart with greed Especially when it comes to Santa God makes sure no one is left in need Not to be ungrateful, It’s a question not a plea But where mama, I ask, Is our Christmas tree? The spark that was in her eye With sadness grew to gray Then I watched as she got on her knees Watching her tears I listened to her pray I have fought and struggled hard I have tried not to go astray I’ve tried to make her understand I’ve prayed and I have begged Showing her we should be grateful We have somewhere to lay down our heads But how can you tell a child, dear Lord So innocent and so sweet There’s no place for a Christmas tree When you’re living on the street [comments] => 3 [counter] => 155 [topic] => 32 [informant] => ravenshadows [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
