Rhyming on The Eighth of The Month

My writing group rhymes on the eighth of every month, except in February when we rhyme daily. I am going to share one of the rhymes put together by four of us just for fun, along with a couple of others!

It is the eighth of December

How does time go so fast

Yesterday I can’t remember

But I for sure remember the past

And today is a blast

A great day for baking a great Holiday treat.

Also, a good day to eat, eat, and eat.

It’s 40 degrees above zero

The sun is my hero

Authors Denise & John Lindquist, Carol Verant Arola and JoAnn Boorman

~~

Lately not much rhyming

Perhaps it’s been bad timing

Hibernation setting in

No excuse to not jump in

A certain bear is on my mind

I’m painting him in my spare time

Working hard to make him mean

Yet his eyes still twinkle with a friendly gleam

Shelly Chase, author and artist

~Yuletide Gifts~

Children out in the snow sledding,

Troubles and fears they are shedding.

They play yell and sometimes fight,

Travelin’ down the trails just out of sight.

Carefree and courageous past the trees they zoom!!!

Singin’ Yuletide carols spiritually cleaning every room!!!

Their little faces were so jolly and full of spice,

Seeing smiles and laughter ever so nice.

What a gift to Witness with my very own eyes,

Being present with family is always the true prize!!!

My writing group is great! And all so talented. Several more talented poets could be included but for today, only the poets with the art are included along with our group effort of rhyming on the 8th!
