Poem Commentary

for the times when we need it most the exspectations and excitement lost and expressions given are the joys shared when people come together and the bliss it made us feel but the sadness when it had to end

looking back

 looking back is all i see
one faded little christmas tree
memories of things I did not know
were the presents I had to show

Gifts given were all in fun
all wrapped neatly one by one
Ghost of shadows in the past
were things tattered that did not last

excitement rose to an even pitch
people dancing together without a hitch
peering eyes spied to get one glance
of Reindeer hoofs as they seemed to dance

one more thing brings to mind
giving is better you will find
remember the times we made a fuss
not shared by one but all of us

the taste of the first snow flake
reminds me of snowmen we used to make
before i drift off and sigh
brings a feeling and tear to my eye

Time flies faster then the wind, the past becomes 'memories in the present'. Nice rimes, perfectly put together.;)

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
