Colleen’s poetry challenge for this week is synonyms only!  Her two words are End and Hurry.  Check out Colleen’s blog to find which forms of poetry are acceptable for this challenge.  Have fun!

Written as a Double Etheree, my synonyms are Fragment and Bustle.


A
Crystal
Flurries down
Rushing to meet
A man made of white.
Top hat upon his head
Eyes of coal, a carrot nose,
Mittened hands, endless snowball fights
Days of youth, returning within us.
The bustle of the holiday season.
The coming together of family,
Dearest to our hearts, celebrating
A thankfulness, many blessings
Each one, a mere fragment, of
Years gone by, call to mind
All who have gathered
Bringing with them
Tidings of
Great joy,
Love

I say, my dear Sheila
I believe you’re tied to tight
You have a rather large bump
Which doesn’t look quite right

How dare you, my dear Priscilla
That’s no bump you see
Why, that’s my derriere
And it’s quite a part of me!

Oh forgive me, my dear Sheila
I didn’t mean to speak so crudely
But as you sashay, back and forth
Other women stare, quite rudely

I understand, my dear Priscilla
Let them look, after all, we’re cuties
No need to pay them any mind
They’re jealous of our budding beauty

Plastered Petticoats – #NovemberWriting #poetry

She never liked the sound, twas always a nagging rustle

When she wore her longest skirt, over that annoying bustle

Wanting more freedom, from those cumbersome togs

She threw on her mini skirt, the kind in those catalogues

All the other women, looked at her, oh! Quite distraught

Melanie paid no mind, never giving it a second thought

In fact she found them amusing, all she could do was gloat

Knowing they’d never be happy, in those plastered petticoats
