We made it guys! And for me, by the skin of my teeth today. I hope your Holiday festivities went/are going well and I really do apologize for flaking on posting this morning. I honestly forgot that it was Tuesday! It really felt like a Monday to me… Yesterday being Christmas got me all mixed up. Ah well. On to the poetry!

To Inspire You:

Dripping Through Fingers

The gore dripping through
her fingers
served as a reminder of what
I had forgotten.
But as each
drop
of
thick
blood
fell…
I could feel
the lingering memories fading.
What was I supposed
to remember?
And why are there so many
red strings
tied
around
where my fingers
ought to be?

~Jeanette Andromeda

Kylie and I passed a few Haiku back and forth as well. If you haven’t tried this yet, I highly recommend it. It’s a lot of fun playing off of someone else’s poem.

dumb gingerbread man
he’ll crumble before he drowns

Losing his gumdrops
will be the least concern when
I am through with him.

of dunking your gingerbread
