Goodbye, hello!

Goodbye office
Goodbye deadlines
Goodbye java
Goodbye springboot

Hello Indesign
Hello home office
Hello writing
Hello holidays!

Procrastinating

Just in case you haven’t heard
Enough of carols wherever you may turn
Allow me to share my favorite
Christmas Tune with you
Takes me back to when I was ten
And a Boney M audio cassette did I receive
Along with a red and black walkman player
(Remember them? Anyone?)

I should be working now
This post is me procrastinating
If I do not respond to any comments or likes
It is because my head is buried in
Eclipse, Java and Springframework
Bring on the coffee
Bring on the love
Shoulder massages?
Should I be so lucky?

Giving Gifts

Gifts make me happy
Giving gifts and receiving too
So while I be far away from family
Far away from home
The past few months
I’ve said goodbye to Candy Crush
(Level 213)
I’ve said goodbye to bedtimes at nine
Lifted my hands and started to write
So for this Christmas
I have a gift from my heart
A thought I have dreamed up
A book I have written
Personal edition not for sale
Gift to friends and family
To wish all the souls I love
Scattered across the globe
A very merry Christmas
From Vonita in Sydney
Because while I am here
You are in my heart

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Getting Seasonal.”

Summer Night

Walking home and all I see
Are glitters and sparkles and fairy lights
Greeting me as I pass them by
I take a minute to greet them back
Feeling happy, feeling glad
That I have the freedom to go on my way
Walking home at night after a summer’s day

Reindeers and Hostages

Unknowing reindeer
Light up suburbia
Glow with lights unrefined
While not too far away
Lights go out in a chocolate cafe
Hostages held captive
Hope to see another day

Thoughts be to those involved
And to family of same

Happy December!

Glitter and gold
Reflect the season once more
Of joy and delight
Goodwill to man

Happy Holidays!
