Boxing Day is a holiday celebrated around the world. Basically, it’s like Black Friday in the United States, except it is held after Christmas. It’s when stores put on sale all the goods which didn’t get sold during the Xmas rush. So if you’re in a country which celebrates Boxing Day, have a safe one!

My Favorite Christmas Poem: Nativity by John Donne

poetry — Gary R. Hess @ 12:08 am on Dec 8, 2011

There are many Christmas poems, but not all reach our hearts the same. One of my favorite poets is John Donne, so naturally he is among the first poets I look towards during this time of year. His poem “Nativity” fits the bill perfectly. You’ll love his words and his emotions as much as I [...]

Halloween Poems: Sonnet 100 by Lord Brooke Fulke Greville

poetry — Gary R. Hess @ 4:16 pm on Oct 29, 2008

In night when colors all to black are cast, Distinction lost, or gone down with the light; The eye a watch to inward senses placed, Not seeing, yet still having powers of sight, Gives vain alarums to the inward sense, Where fear stirred up with witty tyranny, Confounds all powers, and thorough self-offense, Doth forge [...]
