A Christmas Intervention

Creative Poetry Group: Had to write about the picture!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Embodiment of greed represents her personality

Condescending ways leads her astray

A pinched heart allows no one in

The light that once shone in her eyes has turned to black

 

Night slowly descends

She longs for peaceful solitude

Images of light disturb slumber

Apparition appears in the dark

 

Long hair as white as snow in the coldness of winter

Red striped candy canes apparel his beard

Nostalgic eyes stare at her in disbelief

The Ghost Of Christmas Past, Present and future stands  at her feet

 

Reality fades as she is lifted back in time

Scenes of adolescent days shimmer by

Smiles and giggles escape a young girl

A cheerful heart was full of glee

Back when life was so carefree

 

With a puff of his pipe past desolves into present

Warmth freezes into ice

People she has wronged sneers in her face

Money that could have went to charity is hidden away

 

Eyes blink and his hands clap, future appears in a snap

The candy canes weaved in his beard are labled with each wrong deed she has done

One by one they claw at her,

Points to a grave that indicates her destiny

 

A plea forms in her throat

Tears fall like rain

She knows she can change

thunder roars, lightening flashs

 

Her own screams brings her out of a trance

A new day dawning, a renewal of hope and life

Christmas time did not pass her by

A visit from a ghost intervene in her life

Very nice read and a good portrayal of the idea behind "A Christmas Carol" By the way, my favorite version is the 1984 TV production presented by IBM and staring George C. Scott!

I like your version of A Christmas Carol. You did a great job in this poem bringing the heart and soul of the story to life. A very enjoyable read!
