It's the Most Poetic Time, of the Year

Anybody feel like singing? :) It’s the most poetic time, of the year where the writers are writing, the blog pages fighting and comments of cheer It’s the most poetic time, of the year It’s the soup, soupiest season of all with those verses a’ flowing of winter and snowing and decking the hall It’s the soup, soupiest season of all You’ll read stanzas of loving of snowballs they’re gloving and packages under the tree There’ll be lines filled with phrases of faith and its praises in every poem you see It’s the most poetic time, of the year you’ll find poems for reading with broken hearts bleeding it soon will be clear It’s the most poetic time, of the year ~ Written to the melody of the song: "It's the most wonderful time of the year" Written by George Wyle and Edward Pola. Originally performed by Andy Williams

I feel like singing, even though I haven't sang much in so long. Thank you for this fun poem Chris :)

Nope, I can't tell you the last time I was in a movie theater. :)

I love how you matched the song's rhythm, Chris. I used to do this with Xmas songs. I am thinking of doing it with a current contest but not matching my rhythm to a song, but rather to a famous poem with a very distinct meter. Really fun read here.

this is the fun version to sing at the soup Xmas party. But when it's cold outside, what else is one to do but blog and poesy? Good one, Chris :))

dang! you are ready with all the tunes so we need to send a petition for a party to team poetry soup! Hopefully they'll set one up in time, or else we'll have to head south and have a white Christmas in New Zealand or Argentina; who cares if it's in July? as long as we sing your lyrics! hehe

Ha, here's another "Oh Poetry, oh poetry, how beautiful thy stanzas" So, when is that party? : )

Hey, there's a new one..."I really must write. Baby it's cold outside. And blog some tonight. Baby it's cold outside" :) Thanks so much Susan. I am glad you liked this one.

WoW! Chris, You had me singing along with this clever write I like the song" It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year" I liked the rewritten lyrics about what's going on in Soupville. Excellent job my friend. Have a wonderful day:-) Alexis PS, I see poem of the day or week in you future( at least that is how I feel).

Chris Green

Thank you Alexis. I am happy this one had you singing and I am sure everyone who might have heard you thought to themselves how beautiful it was. I appreciate your kindness my friend.

So that was the angelic voice I heard just now? :) Thank you my friend. Heard the song this morning and it kind of got stuck in my head so I rewrote it. :)

Looks like I peeked in at the right time for a song. A witty little ditty, Chris. I think you described the happenings here adequately...ALMOST covering every aspect. Almost but not quite, for to include all of its idiosyncrasies would probably get you in trouble.

I gave up premium membership when things got much too nasty. Then discovered that all of the pictures I'd posted with my poetry when I was paying for the privilege had been deleted by the "admin" when I did not renew. Hardly fair since I had paid for that privilege.

I thought about Lin but I am not a "Premium Member" and I only have so many words I can post and to be honest, to cover every one of those idiosyncrasies I'd need more words than even the "Premium Members" get. : ) Thanks so much my friend.
