Festive Words


Make haste arise,
assert the words.
Salute each term
that now gabfest.

In mid of night
they waltz, serenade;
Jovially jolting
a rem-sleep state.

Appease them please,
awake, awake.
You have mere seconds
so soon they fade.

Witty performers, 
these festive words;
Parade to play part
of a poet's verse.

Rare frolic idioms
seldom last;
Assign them purpose,
applaud their crafts.

Ink well the quill,
poetize prose.
Recite with vigor 
what words compose.

Inscribe each stanza 
on scroll egg-shell white.
A task I've done 
numerous times.

Ideal locutions
dispel thy rants.
In poetic sequence,
I'll debut thy stance.

Dear Lissette, your wonderful poem is a festival of imageries. I especially enjoyed "Witty performers,/these festive words;/ Parade to play part/of a poet's verse." - indeed! Congratulations for your success in Rob's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
