Listen to the sounds
They are all around
They are up, they are down
So don't make a frown
Just adjust,
it's a must
To hear the sounds of pleasure,
their never beyond your measure
for Christmas is in the air!
Look and see,
at all it can be
Decorations all around
Look and see what I have found
Snow is falling,
and no one is bawling,
so go ahead and stare,
it's nothing rare,
for Christmas is in the air!
Smell the pine
It's just fine
Drifting through the air,
so it won't be bare
Candy canes mixed in chocolate
I would like some of it
Pumpkin pie wafting through the window,
so that you'll know
Christmas is in the air!
Taste the cup cake icing,
and the food we're dicing
Drippings on your tounge,
taste buds oh what fun
Icicles melting in the sun,
here have a bun
Butter melting in your mouth
let's never go south
for Christmas is in the air!
Feel the fabric
Oh! how fantastic,
wrapped over each and every present,
for each and every peasant
For they could use the gift
or maybe just a lift,
in their spirit
can't you feel it
for Christmas is in the air!
Author notes
Prompt: song inspiration #1
I realized today that this was not finished. I called it Sensing Christmas yet it only had two senses, so here is the new and inproved version with all five senses of Christmas.
This one I wrote When christmas came around last year it was actually to seperate poems but they both felt unfinished so I stuck them together. And I think the title tells it all. because one you are listening, two you are seeing. so enjoy this holiday season.

i love the repeating line and i do sometimes get annoyed with cheesy rhymes but in the Christmas season it fits
great work -
Amazing work! I love it! I'm kind of surprise this poem never got something higher then a honorable mention. The rhyming doesn't sound force at all. The feelings for this holiday are shown greatly.

A very nice write!
I adore the pincone BG!!! You're right - it's still a little unfinished, but you got the majority of the work done, and the imagery comes across very well to me. Well done!

Thanks so MUCH for entering the "Set the Bar" contest ~ I do appreciate you sharing your work with me ~ best of luck to you! -

I liked how you described the wonders of christmas as they pertain to all our sences. Sometimes if you are just focusing on Christmas threough your sences it can get overwhelming, with mucis and christmas trees and the smells and tastes of cookies... awsome poem. Again thank for entering it into my contest

What a wonderful write...Not only did you paint a picture of the perfect holiday, but your use of imagery was fantastic...Bravo to you and Merry Christmas

This is very imaginative and filled the words that actually gives the reader the feeling of smelling, touching, hearing, tasting, etc. Christmas.... A very enjoyable reading affecting all the senses!!!!!!!!!! I loved this one... My favorite presentation, too. (few caps. and void puncts.) Best wishes in the contest!!!!!!! check line 3 and 6 from the bottom (L3: "thier" did you mean their; and line 6 "pesant" did you mean peasant) You are a true poet and I've enjoyed the work by you I've read!!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!!!

Thank you it was one of my first and each section was actually written about four months apart. Before I decide they belonged together.
-
This is a lovely poem that you have penned here
-
Thank you I always need help with my spelling. Just ask my family.
-
Wow, and thank you. That is the quickest response I've ever had it usually takes days before some one reads a poem I just posted. I didn't even have the background finished yet.
-
A darling poem it is, too! Happy thoughts all around. Thank you for sharing this with us today!
