is it not splendiferous
truly quite sublime
outrageously quite delirious
and here at Christmas time
*
could it be a better gift
accepted with importance
whether sonnet rhyme or riff
could it just be heady dreaming
*
a quirk in the readers scheme
that brought this brand new item
so cherished by a few
that sets my soul a dancing
*
and many others too
poetry sweet poetry
has found it's special place
invited to the table
*
to lend it's style and grace
hooray and hallelujahs
i'll try and bring my best
and if i can't i know that
*
my friends can bring the rest
