The Lonely Grinch's Carol

A poem about a lonely poor Grinch who is heartbroken when he see happy families celebrate Christmas together

Decorated tree with lights and bells

Standing free from walls and shelves

 

Blissful youth keep warbling chants

Wrathful me grow scalding hands

 

My gnashing teeth and pounding heart

 My crashing joy their humming part

 

A youngster sits on Santa’s lap

Her buoyant wish wreck my nap

 

Fathers and mothers at home with sons

Assembling round the tree with songs

 

Carols and hymns pleasant in ear

I hate to sing but love to hear

 

A lonely Grinch I break in tear

To see them sing and dance in cheer

 

Merry Christmas not hard to hear

I bow and say Happy New Year

I really liked this.Sometimes people who have noone to share their life with ends up bitter and grinchy (i don't think that is a word) .I think you wrote this very well:)

A very good poem. I like the strong description. Making more Grinch come live in vision and I like the wy you ended the tale. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
