Notes About The Poem

Poem written for and submitted to “Frosty" poetry contest,” Joseph May, sponsor, December 18, 2025.

MISER'S MISERY

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Young Scrooge once loved a lass so sweet,  
Till gold outbid her heart's loving beat.  
Now ghosts just mock his hollow chest~  
"Your coins are warm? Sir, she was best."

Andrea Dietrich December 27, 2025 at 12:50 PM Great original take on Scrooge. I think maybe six of us chose this awesome character from D the imagination of a world class novelist. Congrats
