~ Abraham Polonsky
"With all of the holiday cheer in the air, it's easy to overlook the ingredients in the foods. Ingredients such as salt, sugar, and fat - all of which leads to diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, strokes, heart disease, and cancer."
~ Lee Haney
"Wal-Mart doesn't really care about your faith. Wal-Mart cares if you have money to spend, and it is going to be as generic as possible in exploiting the holiday season for every buck it can make." ~ Richard Roeper

One Shot Wednesday - Week 20 ~
Sweet Winter Fire
Shut in three days
howling wind whipping
power lines dangle
Ham and beans simmer
atop the old wood heater.
a head start on tomorrow's hunger
four finally tired
Children asleep in bunches
scattered around the warm barn
Mine and yours tumbled together.
forgetting to be jealous
we know it can't last
Daylight spent carrying wood
and entertaining children
I'm all out of games
But nights, heart to heart
we danced by the light of
our sweet winter fire

I love to celebrate - never thought of it as celebrating the dead! Ha! Loved the line "a head start on tomorrow's hunger" in the Sweet Winter Fire poem which was such a contrast to the quotes at the top of this post! Some thing here to please all. :)

Nice, sweet natured work. You almost make me like the "holiday season" - that's saying a lot, considering how much I don't like them. (LOOOONG STORY, lol.)
