Merry Christmas

Augustus

To

each

and every

one of you at

My Poetic Side

who reach out with

a line or two of verse

with pride: I feel welcomed

'mongst friends to play a small

part in adding something penned

to this special wall of art. Oh, such a

group of writers to gather here some to

 snoop, others who will whoop, with lighter

to brighter cheer.  To each and every one of

you demonic-sardonic, silly-sick, wicked acrostic

and depressed–crazy-mazy, erotic and oversexed–

lyric-satiric, sarcastic-bombastic, sweet, love smitten-

heart quickened, brain teasing, large and small–  scary-

teary, rhythm pleasing,

and rhyme blessed–

I wish you All, A

Very Merry

Christmas.

Augustus

      I did not express it well in the poem but I feel a sense of acceptance, understanding, love and friendship from the MPS community. Thanks for your kind remarks.

      I love the word bombastic! You covered everything, but the kitchen sink...hahaha. Merry Christmas to you too Augustus!

        I was a little worried some might read some of the perjorative words, stop and not read the rest. Getting words with the right length and right order to fit the shape of a tree was frustrating. When I would come up with something clever, the line would over run or not be long enough. Thanks.

          That ran through my head when I was reading it I agree but you did an excellent job. Great, great Christmas card😉

          Merry Christmas, A! I love what you've managed to do here: it is very difficult to get the shape without compromising the message you've written. A brilliant break from the norm and a festive treat to read. Great work xx

            Thanks for appreciating the difficulty with shape and positive comments.
