Scrooge

Note: I am not sure if titles of this form can be something other than the first line of the poem, but my actual title would be "Christmas Figures" if that is able to be done. Scrooge sour, solitary scowling, scrimping, withholding miser, coins, celebrator, cookies laughing, welcoming, giving jovial, plump Santa Aug 13, 2022 for Caren Krutsinger's Dazzling Dizzy Diamante Poetry Contest

Ah ha.. There is another way to look at the Character of scrooge Andrea, there is a point In the story where he is in darkness saving on Cash by not using light.. Remember this tale Comes from the 'old country' rich in history and Monarchy and abuse of the workers, so we have To understand his makeup in that view also his Shaping by the powers that were then and are Visiting your shires now.'

yes, of course, I know that, but I had to do a contrast, so I wish I had enough syllables to say (the earlier Scrooge) He certainly had a redemption, same as the grinch
