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!

Legends of Oz by Denton J. Tipton and Blair Shedd

   Legends of Oz by Denton J. Tipton and Blair Shedd. Was published on March 18, 2014.  Based on the animated film Legends of Oz! This child’s comics are for all ages. The story follows the characters after Dorothy leaves. The characters didn’t know that trouble was on its way and they would need Dorothy back to help save the day. As the classic characters the Lion, the Tinman and the Scarecrow goes on the hunt to bring Dorothy back. As the wicked witch of the west’s brother, Jester has come and he’s nothing but trouble. The flying monkey and Jester is causing trouble all over as the book takes you to on a journey. Since this is a comic/ graphic book a main part of the story is told just by the illustrations which are a huge part to understanding the story. The illustrations are perfect in this story; brightly colored, emotions in the characters, and has a way how showing what is happing in a way that is wonderful and easy to understand,
     I enjoyed this story more then I thought I was. I found giggles here and there as I read it to my brother. I loved the illustrations and how the characters just popped right out. The story line was good; it has adventure but was also quite funny. Any Oz fan of any age will enjoy this new take on an amazing classic.

There Was an Old Sailor by Claire Saxby by Cassandra Allen

There Was an Old Sailor by Claire Saxby by Cassandra Allen will be published on March 1, 2014. This is an advance review of this story.
There Was Old Sailor is a new spin on the classic "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly”. The sailor swallows a krill; he doesn’t want to get ill so he swallows a jellyfish to catch the krill. Then one swallow leads to another. As each thing he swallows gets bigger and bigger.
I enjoy read this new take on "There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly” as it’s a favorite of mine. I found the new rhymes a joy to read. Furthermore, the illustrations are a great part of this book and were a pleasure to look at while reading. In addition, to this story at the end of this book there are fish facts about the sea creatures that the old sailor had swallowed. The joys of new rhymes will fill the air with laughter. As well make the children wonder what the old sailor will swallow next. Children who love rhymes and the sea will enjoy this story.

Tiger Eyes by Judy Blume

Older Cover

Tiger Eyes is a young adult novel written by Judy Blume in 1981. It’s a Dorothy Canfield Fisher Award, An ALA Best Book for Young Adults. As well as a major motion picture.

Even though this story has violent and crime it’s not the whole center of this story. It’s about Davey who has to deal with life after her father death. Davey, her mother and younger brother visit relatives in New Mexico. As Davey tries to deal with her new life when she meets a young guy named Wolf; when Wolf asks Davey what her name was she said Tiger. Later he says her eyes look sad. Wolf helps Davey deal with her new life. He helps her over come her fears, problems and shows her she has strength to over come her problems.

This 224 page book was one of the first few books my mother told me about that got my hooked on reading. I feel in love with this story because it’s written well. The characters and the plot are captivating. Davey, wolf, her brother and mothers are few of the reasons why this story is still popular in to day’s world. I think that this story teaches people that they can over come there problems. Tiger Eyes is differently a must read for anyone who enjoys a story about a young girl who learns to deal with life and the problems that may come with it.
