Something Christmasy...Inspirational Wrapping Paper

Well, I'm back! SO sorry to have been gone with no warning, but my laptop suddenly bust and I had to wait for it to be fixed. How long has it been? A week, two? It seems an age.
Welcome to a new feature! Of course it had to be something to do with Christmas! For all you Scrooges out there, this is completley and utterly for you. (You know, and all the Christmas lovers like me.) There's going to be five, and they are all, (did you guess?!) going to have the theme of Christmas.
So bring on inspirational Christmas wrapping paper!

Okay, I know I always say this, but which is your fave? Personally, I love the white paper bag with the candy canes and big pink bow. I might try it out for a friend's present!

Death or love

I've just read a post that made me think how lucky I am. It inspired this poem:

Wading through

Water.

Dirt, glass, plastic.

Noises swirling

Crying, wailing

Overwhelmed.

You never knew life could be this bad.

A little girl

Sat in the gutter.

‘Take this,’ you say, and hand her the pack.

She looks up.

You’ve never seen her before.

But suddenly

It’s like you’ve seen into her soul.

She gobbles the food

But who knows? You might already be too late.

You scan her face

Looking for signs

A clue, if you like.

Your finger traces the tears on her face.

You hand her more food, and she stares.

You stop.

Is it death or love in her eyes?

I might turn it into a song one day, I think it's that kind of poem. What do you think? Was it death or love?
Drop a commment to give me ideas for posts- fashion or writing related if you think of one you'd like me to do. =) Thanks!

Inspired

I'll just start off by saying sorry that I haven't blogged for two days, but I've been away.
But now I'll show you some pictures that kickstarted some verses:


It's just a feeling
That hearts can not contain
I think that I'm insignificant
But somehow, so are they




Shout it from a mountain
Jump into the sea
Hold my hand, babey
And come and fly with me




In a world full of chaos
An oasis of peace
A calmness that will fill you
Which teachers cannot teach



An everday miracle
It's forming in the sky
Something that can't be copied
No matter how hard we try

I felt like it was time this blog was filled with a bit more poetry!
Is there any kind of writing/fashion/recipes you'd like me to blog about! Drop a comment and let me know!
