Christmas Poetry Tour with @poetryis_heart

Collection of 25 Days of Christmas Poetry

Poetry Excerpt #1

The Christmas moment

The moment

Has come

For all children

To love and enjoy

This time of year

To dream of wonderful things

Christmas trees

All lit up

Stockings are hung

Presents under the tree

Makes the children

Dream of magic of Christmas

Glancing out the window

To the stars

Above

Wishing on one

And in hopes

Of seeing Santa Clause

On cold winter nights

All tucked in their beds

Fast asleep

With pictures of candy canes

And toys dancing

In their head

The moment

Has come

For all the children

To love and enjoy

The season

Where wonderful things

Happen and

Their dreams come true.

Poetry Excerpt #2

Christ is Christmas

A king was born that night

None knew what great love

The King was to show

They heard the prophecy

That He was the Son of God

That He was sent here

To die on the cross

Jesus was born

For us to celebrate life

To be saved

If only we believe

In our hearts

As Jesus grew

He walked this earth

Teaching of great things to come

Curing the sick

Helping the needy

Showing true love and care

To God’s children

Here on Earth

Jesus was born

And on the dreadful day

Jesus took to the cross

For our sins

For His sacrifice

Has given us

A second chance

To have the best gift of all

Eternity with His Father

In the heavens above

For Christ is Christmas!

Character Interview: Luke Black –

(You may use all or parts of the Character Bio in your post, if you only use parts please post this link to the author’s blog so readers can read all of it - http://insidethemindofkatgreen.wordpress.com/character-interview-luke-black/ )

Q1: How old were you when you started playing guitar?
LB: I was 12. My mum gave me Chloe, my acoustic guitar on my twelve birthday.

Q2: What started your song writing?
LB: Losing my best friend at age 7 in a house fire. I wrote my first song Pink Ribbons for Chloe, who was also the reason I named my guitar. Her death impacted on me that much. I was 7 years old and it was the only way I could move on and accept it. But, without letting her go completely.

Q3: If Chloe was still alive, do you think she would be your girlfriend?
LB: I often ask myself that. I don’t know if she would have been in my life romantically but she would be my best friend. That I am very sure of. A part of me thinks she was removed to allow me to meet Melissa. She is my little Angel who I believe has always been with me. I’ve never forgotten her.

Q4: If you were not in a band or doing anything music related. What job would you be doing?
LB: I would still be working in a petrol station. Dying of boredom. I try not to think about it. I’m doing the only thing I want to do and have any skill in.

Q5: What was it like to go from playing to 20 people in a pub to what you’re doing now?
LB: Mind blowing, insane and I am still in shock. Everyone dreams of it but not everyone gets it. I am so thankful for every fan we have.

Q6: What song is your favourite to perform?
LB: Ooooh that’s easy ‘Weekend High’ I wrote that when I was twenty after a really bad relationship. It wasn’t really a relationship but at the time I didn’t see it, it was just convenience and there was no love there. Also, the fans go nuts to it.

Q7: Which gig has been your favorite so far?
LB: Now, that is harder to answer because every gig is amazing for all kinds of reasons. I don’t think it would be fair to choose one. That is like saying to one set of fans ‘Oh you were great’ and make other fans feel like you are dissing them. But, for sentimental reasons our third gig at Ruby’s back home will always be special. I meet my Liss there and it was what changed everything for me, and us as a band.
