You captured my heart,
a quaint, little smile.
You hugged and made me
feel good for a while.

What light
blinds the eye,
when Dawn
comes forth?

When will
this pain pass,
going another way?
Will it be
leaving, not to stay?

Of all the love in the World today,
It's you I seek and pray,
Please stay with me,
Sweet love of mine.

Oh, Rooster boy,
what's in your craw?
Did you just
fly in from Omaha?

Long he wandered,
searching, ever searching
for his once upon a time home.
He traveled the World for years,
writing about his travels.
He awkwardly wrote a poem.

Know not your name,
know not your home,
in a short time, you'll
be in an original Poem.

"A symbolic moment of peace, grace, and humility amidst one of humanity’s most violent and disgraceful events".
"In December of 1914, a series of grassroots, unofficial ceasefires took hold of the Western Front in the heat of WWI. On Christmas, soldiers from an estimated 100,000 British and German troops began to exchange seasonal greetings and sing songs across the trenches",........ Continue Reading

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day:

Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) was discovered by astronomers using the wide-field survey camera at the Zwicky Transient Facility this year in early March. Since then the new long-period comet has brightened substantially and is now sweeping across the northern constellation Corona Borealis in predawn skies. It's still too dim to see without a telescope though. But this fine telescopic image from December 19 does show the comet's brighter greenish coma, short broad dust tail, and long faint ion tail stretching across a 2.5 degree wide field-of-view. On a voyage through the inner Solar System comet 2022 E3 will be at perihelion, its closest to the Sun, in the new year on January 12 and at perigee, its closest to our fair planet, on February 1. The brightness of comets is notoriously unpredictable, but by then C/2022 E3 (ZTF) could become only just visible to the eye in dark night skies.

When friends are nearby,
there is comfort
of being close

A strange moment,
an awkward hello.
I tripped over my tongue,
as I attempted to show
my sophistication.
A few stumbling words,
did not farewell,
as I embarrassed myself.
A job well done.

Across the broad network,
across the great cause,
I espied the movement
of our friend, Santa Clause.

Happy Holidays to all. No matter what you call your respective holiday, be it Christmas, Chanuka or other celebrations. Please enjoy peace and understanding of all our neighbors and their own beliefs.
For me, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
