Here I still linger Though I mustn't dither Tis' neither hither nor thither Just another tenday Of the lackadaisical mundane Then, a brief, yet welcome stray A customer with a whimsical name "How do you do, Mr. Errol Kettle?" I picture you as a halfling; A humble shopkeeper In the Humblewood But nay, One cannot dilly-dally this day! I have towels, and bedsheets and clothes, smocks and dishcloths I must fold this way, that way, square-ways Doesn't matter, I must away!

The Not So Quiet Moitherings of a Lone Woman
This Christmas is cold. Even as the moon is scalding To the heat of the stars In the humid air Of the hidden sun. My heart reaches out to closest flames But they are in full-fledged fuel For their own Feisty foolish fellowships Furiously festive in the ignorant bliss Such is the permafrost Of no welcoming arms And so, I host Revenge Who welcomed Bitterness In my thoughts While suffering from the sinister snowstorm I alone perhaps have made this night cold Cold enough To trick me to sleep In tears, only my dreams are warm enough To thaw but a single thumb Frozen and Alone I fade. Evaporating into the clouds I am part of what will be Rain, wadding the earth In a pool I will remind them of loneliness I Will be the cold Next Christmas is cold
