A Year of Bad Poetry

(from Thursday, December 4, 2008)

Christmas light twinkle

With offending joyfulness.

Holiday melodies waft

Over the window shoppers

As they lug their Christmas cheer

In bags from one store to another.

Windows display traditions

Lost over the years to commercialization.

Beeping horns and sharp remarks

Are shared in holiday greeting.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year.
