The Colours Of Christmas
First
Christmas Time Lovin by ~nicolemonique


you smile like a candy cane-- pearly whites curve between rosy reds, and when you kiss me it's all peppermint and
love,
and our breath escapes in spirals and weaves through the snowflakes toward the stars.

Colours Of Christmas by*WeWillBeDragons


one day we'll take apart the planet-- paint it in our favorite colors, the colors of christmas. green for me,
because it's the color of life, and luck, and poetic lies. and red for you, because--
it's
you. one day we'll tear down the sky, one day we'll kill the kings, one day-- we will be dragons.

oh let's make that day today, come slip inside my dreams and my delirium. or stand behind the glass and watch me
go. i'm painting over my blank skull walls, painting them with rose bushes and roman

Winter Wonderland by :devlaceydrawers:


Snow blankets the fields that once were green This Winter Wonderland which can be seen Creating starkness in a shade of white We gaze in awe upon this sight
Snowflakes drifting slowly to the ground
Floating softly without a sound
Placing shapes upon this earth

Colours Of Christmas by~mistsofavalon4ever


The bell ding-ding-dings. Lunch is over. Her classmates slide off the cold swings and run into the school, glad for warmth and crayons. The girl can't think why they'd rather hear stories about snow, even if it is about the Gingerbread Man. Wouldn't they rather still be in the snow?
Obviously no one is of a like mind, so she hides under the slide, feeling the frozen poky bark of the playground. Snow falls around her, just outside her shelter. It's close enough to touch, but far away enough that she doesn't have to feel it but can still appreciate it. She likes is this way. It's almost better than sitting in the backseat wit
The Nightmare Before Christmas
First
Santa's Little Helper by *lurkingdeviant


"No, no!" Jacob cursed to himself as he saw the last Captain Mech toy slipped his grasp, carted off to the checkout counter by a luckier parent. Cursed toy, always out of stock; Christmas is due tomorrow, little Jeremy has been such a good boy this year, and all he asked of Santa this year was that hundred-times-cursed toy robot. Whenever it wasn't other parents it was some brat taking the last one with him. For the last two months he has tried everything, but the times he tried bribing a store's employee into saving one for him, it turned out some other parent has already offered a bigger sum, all online stores have consistently b

Holiday Silence by =Iluvocnj2006


There was just something about the way the snow hit the window pane, that made me feel somber. Light from the passing cars made the snow an eerie red color, only helping my somber mood. It was Christmas Eve and the house was decorated just like Macy's would be at this very moment. Stockings hung from the mantel while the enormous tree was adorned with lights of all colors. This should be a happy time, a joyous time; not a time of sorrow.
"Hey," A voice whispered in my ear. "Are you all right?"
I turned around to see my loving husband's bright green eyes. "Of course I'm all right, why wouldn't I be?"

'Twas The Night Before X-mas by *Damali-Rivera


'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the shack, Not a creature was stirring not even a rat. Except for one fellow who seemed not to care, That he had no Christmas tree, or that his mantle was bare,
No stockings, no lights or other Christmas treats, For this peculiar fellow was all but deceased. His face was quite mangled, his body quite pale, His hair was all tangled, and reeked of stale ale.
This man was a legend, with the women at least, 20 wives with children before struck with disease. This man was a fiend, nothing better than that, He'd sell his o

The Anti Santa by~starlight-silence


The moon was face-full like a glass of milk And it shone with a wicked smile on the snow
Like a Cheshire-cat looking upon the scene below
Thud. Thud. His thick black boots banged across the roof
From his team of six hell-horses guiding the sleigh
Where half a dozen knives and two bodies lay
He was gaunt skin and bones dressed up in grim reaper black Bearing protruding cheekbones and razor teeth combed with lies
Wearing a mask of white with slits for the eyes

I should have helped you,
I should have helped,

first place with Tightrope


1
Mighty Blondin, Master of Impossibility, who could match that trance of concentration, as you stride along that narrow fibre road
suspended above the deafening churn of foam. With necks craning, we watch the airborne speck you've become. We are entranced as much as you. Our dread, anticipates that catastrophic tumble that must surely be your fate.
We marvel as, sublimely, you keep mortality at bay.
2. You died in obscurity, it's true, not far from this forgotten corner where I write. But how could death obscure you,

Devious Inspiriation contest
second place with Passenger


Beyond the window her past slides into the void. The train gathers speed.
