Bri's Jan.2020 Showcase-List Of Bri-Chosen " Favorite Poems " …..[ Poem Titles Are In My Poet's Notes, Below My Introduction Poem ]
Of Santa Claus, St. Nicholas/Nick, Father Christmas, & Kris Kringle,
NONE left any X-mas/Christmas gift to give this Bri a bit of tingle.
I'd put out milk & cookies as my conscience told me to do on X-mas Eve,
but, if "he" came with his reindeer & sack of gifts, none did he leave.
Neither reindeer nor gifts were under the plastic tree {China-made},
though, for some NICE gifts, I'd gladly give my sister in trade, ...
though my sister would probably only get in Old Santa's merry way,
and she'd certainly {the Old Girl} weigh down his Christmas sleigh! !
I gave no gifts to P-H, except some of my poems-paltry; it's a fact.
But let's look to the New Year,2020, coming down the calendar-track.
My wish for all who read this is a fair chance to have a decent life.
So let us all strive to make this a reality despite all the strife...
which, for some, will continue in this imperfect world. Lend a hand...
to bring fairness to all throughout the world, in EVERY single land.

I hope you have enjoyed reading this list of some poems from P-H which I have recently sent to " My Poem List ", aka my list of favorite poems I've read on P-H.I have left comments on all of the above on their pages.
I do not say the poems are all perfect (like mine are!) .There may be some typos & some areas I did not understand clearly, but I found them ' Good Enough ' to save in my list and to share with other members.
Some are written by 'friends' while others are from authors I've not known. I do not include any of my poems this time, though all of mine are, OF COURSE, fantastic! !
I do NOT suggest that all of the poems found on any of the poets' OTHER poem pages are as 'good' as these; some may not be to my liking.Ha ha.

Have a decent 2020! !
You evoke the Christmas of childhood skilfully. For some reason, this reminds me of 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens, my favourite.
The poem, INVICTUS by William Ernest Henley is a great poem. It is one of my favorite great poems of all time.
A heartwarming, inspiring and humorous write. Liked the closure line, " Lend a hand To bring fairness to all throughout the world, in EVERY single land. A great line from a marvelous poem. It captures the true spirit of Christmas and must be put in our heart and imbibe in the mind.
Wishing a fair chance to have a decent life is great. Thanks.
2 - Ok, so PH makes some mistakes. Don't we all? ? ? And PH is free to use, submit poems to, and read stuff from others. If 'lucky' one might also get, as a message, a provocative message from some 'person' wishing to get to know " one" better! bri :) Where else can I get all of this for FREE! ?

1 - Well, PoemHunter has again, inexplicably [that means " without explanation" ], altered what i typed into the 'submit a new poem' page. This time P-H, or some unknown creature, has tacked/attached my word " by" , found before the authors' names, onto the last word of some of the poem titles. " Good grief Charlie Brown! " [a cartoon character used to say that in the Peanuts comic strips in U.S. newspapers]
