Poetry Friday - My Small Poem

            It's Poetry Friday, and Anastasia Suen is hosting HERE at her blog. She's been writing what she calls "small poems" recently. I wonder what's in her pocket this week?
            Thanks for hosting, Anastasia!  











              Wishing all a December full of good celebrations, however you choose to celebrate. I hope our world will find a way toward peace this month, and bring blessings to all who are struggling. 

             I chose a small poem today!

Your little opening word "now" jumped out at me...perhaps a nod to the pre-Halloween Christmas decor I spied in stores??? Thank you, Linda!

What a sweet concrete poem for the first of December! Thanks, Linda :)

Linda, that is a perfect little Christmas tree. Loving the ornaments. I love the "every corner / extra merrily" You have inspired me to get out my December decorations. Thank you for sharing your sweet small poem.

Anastasia Suen said...

Wow, Linda! A concrete poem that is also an acrostic! That's amazing!!!

Linda Mitchell said...

Fabulous as always...super creative and short for a busy person in a busy season. Cheers!

Linda, your December concrete poem is adorable! The way you used color was something that I had not seen before in concrete poems (usually just black and white). Color adds a whole new dimension. Very creative!

Thank you to all for bringing the 'gifts' of words to put under the tree! Have a wonderful weekend!

Such a joyful poem, Linda! Clever how you weaved in December in such a colorful way! I hope your holiday is as cheerful.

Rose Cappelli said...

Charming and clever! Thank you, Linda.

Marcie Flinchum Atkins said...

What a cool way to do an acrostic! Kids would love it!

Linda B said...

Thanks, Janice, Rose, & Marcie! I am decorating! Hope you're having a great weekend prepping for a holiday!

Hee hee hee! I love it, Linda.

Linda, what a jammed packed weekend for the start of December but I am happy to settle in today. The quiet of morning lets me read in peace. I am in the decorate every corner mood but I had to start with disassembling my autumn collection to turn over the house to Christmas. Beautiful tidings of joy I send to you.

Carol Varsalona said...

Oops, my comment never made it to your post. How Odd! Linda, your poem comes right at the time that I am starting my usual "decorate every corner of my house "routine. This weekend was an extremely busy one with a dinner dance, visit to the garden centers' Santa read-in with my little grandgirls (one in a sling from a fractured collarbone), and a family dinner last night. I am so glad to be here this morning quietly reading PF posts. Thanks for the colorful and delightful poem to think about when I decorate today.

Bridget Magee said...

Both the shape and the content of your poem have me smiling, Linda. :)

Linda B said...

Thank you, Bridget, Heidi & Carol. It felt like a fun thing to do for December's holidays! Carol, I have moderation turned on after three days. That's why you thought you'd lost your comment. I'm sorry for the fractured collarbone, yikes. So it begins with kids!

Perfectly lovely Linda! "Decorate~Merrily~Be Excited~Rejoice" Love all the colors and spirit here! Reminds me of Leonard Cohen singing his Hallelujah, thanks!

Linda B said...

Thanks, Michelle. Ah, that is a nice response, love Cohen's Hallelujah!
