I Fret the Holiday Season

I Fret the Holiday Season I invited it in: insipid, insidious holiday hoopla; and now rue my indolent heart As time escapes I inveigh aloud a tirade of syllables that berate my immutable, irascible self I pine for insouciance, iniquitously doled to some not to others, and wear the ignominious crown, self-bestowed upon my head: “Intransigent Queen.” I’ve only myself to blame.

As for now, I will greet you with the same smile, others passed, when I first join the soup. Wishing you and your poetry the best. I hope you get to meet all the nice poet's around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you wish. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND" Hugs* SKAT

I found the ending amusing as well. I believe it de-stressed (not "distressed") me to write it.

A lot of big words here. I hope I do not offend when I say that I find the ending slightly amusing.
