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.

Kris Nestingen-Palm Date: 1/15/2015 5:47:00 PM I found the ending amusing as well. I believe it de-stressed (not "distressed") me to write it.
Isaiah Zerbst Date: 1/15/2015 5:25:00 PM A lot of big words here. I hope I do not offend when I say that I find the ending slightly amusing.
