as easy as abc.at this time of the year, stories go like this;
believing in santa claus is like
conscientiously counting down
days until the first snowflakes
emerge, bleeding sunrises
from its very bones. it takes
guts to let yourself go and
hope for the very best even
if you can't see it yet; it's
just like falling in love
-with the boy next door who has eyes like june and smiles like
autumn and you feel so mismatched and out of place with your
wintry heart and december tones but he never fails to make you
believe in traditions and second helpings of christmas pudding-
kissing in front of fire
light, nerves tangled with
mistletoe above. you
never prepared to be
opened up like your
prepared turkey with
queer angles and
ribs
splayed out,
-your heart so snug within prying fingers and your aorta snapping
as you plummet into the hearth of unsure nuances and he just holds
you as you learn the chords of forgotten carols, laying your hopes
down as he mixes them all together like fruit punch and yo
"as easy as abc." by choirsoftheheavens

<sub>Only the mistletoe is missing from this charming
seasonal abecedarian. To quote the author, love makes
you forget the rhythm, the rhyme and the format.
christmas just makes you delirious.

"Holy Sadness" by johnfinch

<sub>Extremely moving in its simplicity, this poem
does an amazing job of describing the feeling of sadness
and what it can mean to an individual. It brings
the reader right into that reality.

Rosemary's NieceParsley played damn good piano.  Everybody has their own special talent, her aunt was fond of saying.  Some can draw, some can write, some are natural born leaders, her cousin Andy happened to be good at dark magic.   Parsley?  She played damn good piano.
Incidently, that was exactly what she was doing that moment when cousin Andy dropped in, asking, “Whatcha doin’?” at the most inopportune moment possible.
Parse brought both her hands down, beating the absolute hell out of the keys.
“What does it look like?”
“Nothing important.  Wanna help me with something?”
Parse slid her fingers back in, plopped them on her lap, and yelled a “No!” as she turned back to the keyboard.  “I’m trying to practice here.”
“Too bad.”  Andy plucked a hair off her head and ran out, giggling like a school girl.  Or a dude in a school girl uniform. 
"Rosemary's Niece" by AnonDesu

_{Have you ever been interrupted while
practicing an instrument? Because it probably
doesn't compare with AnonDesu's
story of supernatural shenanigans.}
