The Christmas Craze

The Christmas Craze

A Poem by Mazie

The quiet nights and sparkling lights are gold;
Snow glitters in a spot of pale moonlight,
While winds blow flakes about to ease the cold,
And starry skies and Heaven's Eye are bright.
But calm's soon rid; serene, the scene, now not,
As fever falls upon the piling maze.
What ales them? - No, 'tis not the cold nor cough
That drives them to such craze; a childish faze.
Forgot themselves upon the empty shelves,
No time to spend with kin nor friend
Or see the beauty that is "Winter’s Hell";
So sad what they cannot display nor send,
And ev'ry year I ponder why it's all the same;
A gift gave without heart is but a shame.

I know I go of a bit on the syllable count a bit in the end, but hopefully that's not all people take away from it :)
