There's a holiday that will make you look back, on everything you've done
On this day everyone gets together, until the morning comes
You think what you want to achieve, you think what you want to improve
You think about the year ahead, your mind is on the move
There's a holiday that will make you act silly, and do crazy things
On this day chocolates and flowers are given, to some even rings
To some this is a wonderful day, many dreams come true
To others' this is a sorrowful day, it can be very cruel
There's a holiday that will make you be sneaky, and hide cute little eggs
On this day children will run everywhere- an excited scatter of legs
Through this day a bunny will hop, and see to it that all goes well
Through this day all the eggs better be found, or beware the rotten-egg smell
There's a holiday that will make you watch out, for people about to trick you!
On this day the classic buzzer will be used, maybe a banana peel or two
New to this day? At the end, I fear, you won't be all in one piece
New to this treachery? I'm sorry to say, you cannot call the police
There's a holiday that will be terrifying, with monsters,what are they here for!?
On this day creatures walk down the street, coming up to your very own door
Knock knock! You hear the sound, you hear them dragging their feet
Knock knock! What are they saying? I hear it... "Trick or treat!"
There's a holiday that you will bow your head, and say thanks, for all you've got
On this day you listen to grandpa's endless speech, hoping the food will stay hot
Say thank you for food, clothes, shelter and family times around the fire
Say thank you for knowledge and strength, and in my room? Thank you for Gaia....
There's a holiday to wrap it all up, the one we don't want to leave
On this day we remember, it's better to give than to receive
"Mary, mary! Come on, let's go. We better get off to bed!"
"Mary, Mary! Wake up little 'sis! I just heard Santa's sled...."

Description:
New Years, Valentine's, Easter and April Fool's. Halloween, Thanksgiving and of course, Christmas. These are all holidays, some more appreciated than others. I decided to write a poem about them all. The up's and the down's, the sweet and the sour.
Hope you enjoy reading it, and happy holidays!! - Date: 11/28/2008

- Your writing defines the meaning of showing not telling. Very wondeful ;]

- Hey peeps... Just wanted to say, I know it's not Christmas themed, but in the subscription it said holiday themed. Not specifically Christmas. And at least it's still in the poem, so don't flame me for that as I already know that it's not Christmas themed. You may of course tell me you don't like, just don't say anything about the theme, because, once again, I KNOW. Hehehe, it's just that it never said that in the rules you know? All these ARE holidays. So, hope you enjoy!

I liked how the phrases were put together and also liked how they didn't rhyme every five seconds_also good_
another good thing I liked was that you used your mind and I could tell deep inside that was how YOU felt.
