On Wednesdays, I compose a limerick based on the prompt from Three Word Wednesday. Today's words are: battle, fluid, harvest
(it's more fun if you read it aloud - try it!):
The battle commences once more
More fluid this year than before
Each rotten December ,
Depression dismember;
A harvest of "Joy" 'mid the gore
The battle commences once more

For me, Christmas is an anxious, depressing time of the year, made all the worse for the fact that it seems to start a week or two before Halloween. I really like Advent, but always have to struggle to gear up for Christmas.
I'll leave this "buy my book" boilerplate intact, but really, it's more out of a sake of completeness than out of any notion that readers will get this far in today's post.
My book of limericks inspired by Three Word Wednesday is FREE to borrow from Amazon:
"They made me laugh, they made me sad, they made me think and squirm and reflect. ... Tony Noland has a way with words that is nothing short of astonishing" - Jeff Posey, Amazon review
That's right, FREE. Of course, if you're not in Amazon Prime, it still only costs $0.99. That's less than a coffee. And I'm not talking Starbuck's, I'm talking about the burnt mud they sell at the convenience store. It's worth the buck - you'll love it!
Don't have a Kindle? NO PROBLEM! Get one of the free Kindle apps for PC, Mac, iPhone, Android and a host of other devices. You can read "Poetry on the Fly" (or any of my other great writing) anywhere you like!

so true sometimes no matter how much we seek joy in December sorrow finds us.

ReplyDeleteI'm not allowed to interpret this one as beating up kids, am I?
