We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for." ~ Professor Keating (Robin Williams) in "Dead Poet's Society"

Christmas Memory
Christmas Memory
Yes I adored them, the holidays of early winter,-
The pine cabin, children with rosy faces,
Fragrant smoke rising from the chimney,
The cozy hearth, red with radiant yuletide warmth
The piercing joviality of your Christmas tales
And the last hopeless and desperate days we shared.
