The Lady with the Golden Quill

Christmas happiness is another poem from my favorite poet, Richard Jack Smith. Below is this year’s lovely gift.

 

 The Lady with the Golden Quill

by Richard Jack Smith

 

Of immeasurable skill,

 The lady with the golden quill.

 The great musicals you love,

 Like inspiration from above.

 Your beautiful mind and heart

 Lends a unique perspective on art.

 

 Thanks so much, Richard!

It's a Miserable Life

 If you are looking for Christmas movies, The Unforgivable will not be on your list. However, if you are a Sandra Bullock fan, this grim drama is a must-see offering. Bullock turns in a splendid performance as Ruth Slater, a woman found guilty of killing a police officer, which makes her persona non grata to almost everyone she meets when released after serving two decades in prison.

In prison for twenty long years,

Ruth tries to hide imprisoned tears.

But sadness lurks across her face.

 And for her crime she meets disgrace.

 

Sandra Bullock goes deep inside

to play this role and take this ride.

Her likeability she’s lost.

Smiles and laughter she just tossed.

 

Instead we meet a real tough gal

without a family or pal.

She needs to find her little sis.

And what she does you shouldn’t miss.

Oh Tiny Christmas Tree!

 


Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!

Why are ye such a tiny tree?

Ye look all shiny that’s for sure.

But will your glow for long endure?

Which may not be important though.

It’s in our hearts, that Christmas glow.
