John Lawless Poet Rhyme

Decem,,,BRRR Thoughts

Sad pumpkins all wear mushy frowns
All the leaves are on the ground
Soft breezes making wintery sounds
I’m staying inside gaining pounds

The geese have left in honking V’s
As pond edges slowly freeze
My cat stalks crispy dancing leaves
I’m wearing flannel with long sleeves

The bells will ring, the children sing
Wond’ring what will Santa bring
Rock salt, scrapers, hands that sting
A HUMBUG hat, a PAPA thing

The sun will rise in a Decem…BRRR
Cats in windows slyly purr
We’ll hunch into our collars fur
Shopper’s lament…I still need more

A sign inside the busy store
YOU BROKE IT…YOU BOUGHT IT
FOR…..CHRISTMAS IS COMING
AND NO ONE CAN STOP IT.

John Loving Iii December 2, 2025 at 11:49 AM Everything in this poem was GREAT except the last paragragh making it.... But without it the poem was the best I've seen that only comes everyonce in a while. I comment sometimes but I only compliment when it is well deserved. You did your homework. John Lawless December 3, 2025 at 7:46 AM appreciate the visit John and the kind comment...I have often been told..."you just had to go one step to far"....

Paula Goldsmith December 1, 2025 at 10:25 AM Your "Decem,,,BRRR Thoughts" is a creative/fun write. So True... Guess the sing, "YOU BROKE IT…YOU BOUGHT IT….." is Not on the internet. Hahaha!!!!! "Good Luck" if for a contest. Have a fun day writing away.......... John Lawless December 3, 2025 at 7:50 AM December always brings us closer together...even if just for the shared warmth....hehehhe

CayCay Godwin December 1, 2025 at 5:26 AM This is delightful and absolutely a poem of great rhyme and imagery. A smile making poem, at least for me and a rewarding read due to 'talent' in the verses. Way to go, don't get too nippy cold-freezing I say from Florida. I've had my share of homes in deep snow states, I know the other side and have good memories. Really enjoyed. CayCay John Lawless December 3, 2025 at 7:48 AM glad you like it CayCay...just put the two snow "people" outside with the pine, holiday, Christmas, pick one tree
