It’s official!  At 11:28AM EST, winter arrived…brrrrr


Winter, in the morn, appears

Enticing everyone, with a flurry

Awakening the slumber of snowmen

Children, frolicking, on dunes of white

Snowball fights and mugs of hot chocolate

While we sit by the warmth of the fireplace

Longing for the first day of spring

They don’t know how it happened!

What do you mean? They have no clue?

Too many questions, all at once

Left them in a terrible stew!

Seems Colon missed a period

When Ellipsis…. had one too many

Apostrophe kept things together

When Comma hooked up with Semi

But when things became diacritical

For those poor, dear Punctuation’s

We cried, “Just hyphenate, til you dilate

Contractions will be your salvation!”

Idiotic Endeavors – #poetry #DecemberWriting

How could I be this insane?
To attempt such a silly endeavor
As crazy as this might sound to most
I think it sounds quite clever!

In order to achieve this foolishness
One that’s sure to be an adventure
I challenge you to a wild time, ready?
Be sure to hold on to your denture!

Come a bit closer, stand right over here
This is something you won’t want to miss
Plant yourself under this sprig of green
And I’ll plant on you, my biggest kiss!

What do you mean, I’m crazy?
Tis the season of giving, my friend
Looks like I’ll have to find another
Under the mistletoe, to apprehend
