Christmas

Dear Readers,
Welcome to Totally My Tales. It is almost Christmas where I live, so I wish your family a very blessed Christmas. The poem below is an acronym poem I created to celebrate this holiday. Thank you and enjoy.

Signed,
Kayla


Cheerful time to celebrate
Holy child's birth
Rejoicing angels
Innocence enters the world to save it
Snow as white as a lamb's wool
Toys are given to small children
Majestic and grand decorations
All of Christ's followers praise the Lord
Season of hope and peace

On the Shelf

I sit high upon my friend's shelf. My neighbors are a stuffed animal and a fluffy rabbit toy. Of all the wonders my friend possessed, I was her greatest treasure.
My friend and I spent day and night together. We explored the garden, played teatime, and traveled everywhere she brought me. At dusk, she placed me on this shelf and I watched her like her guardian angel while she slumbered. During those nights, I knew that we would be together the very next day.
As the years progressed, our relationship began to grow faint. She fancied other hobbies and created friends who can respond to her when she speaks. I, as well as my stuffed neighbors, still sit on the shelf. Gray dust fell on my dress and my porcelain skin became cold, longing for the warmth of her hands.
I watch my friend, but she barely minds me. She continues to grow, but I cannot reach her. She is moving on, while I sit on the shelf.

Rain

Drip, drop, drip, drop
Rain is coming to town.
Drip, drop, drip, drop
Here the roaring thunder sound.

Pitter, patter, pitter, patter
Music to my soul
Pitter, patter pitter, patter
After a summer as dry as coal.

Fill our lakes! Replenish the plains!
Our gift from above.
I'll never wish you away again
To have only the sunny days come.

Splish, splash, splish, splash
Dark skies suddenly bring good tidings.
Splish, splash, splish, splash
Raindrops land on my smile widening.

Drip, drop, drip, drop
Free from the hot temperature's bind
Drip, drop, drip, drop
Rain is my second sunshine.
