A Poem for Christmas

A Poem for Christmas.

I can't remember if I posted this one before, but something to keep you in the mood for the festive season in case you find yourself in the company of poets or writers on a really cold night and you're feeling just a little bit hungry. A happy Christmas!

Just Deserts.

A dash of venom
A drop of spice
Nine parts of those
Distilled from ice.

Washed down
With old preserves
From jars
Of hot minute
Particulars.

Bad type
A verse or two
Impose
Thin waffles
Pixelate your
Prose.
Then chant!

A bottle of
Mulled wine
Decant.

Then let it all
Slip down your
Throat.
And feast on
Thespians and
Poets!
