Black Friday, Cyber Monday.
Wow, they sure do sound like fun days.
Stores are boasting big sales for gifts;
money gives Thanksgiving short shrift.
Ads put people in a panic.
Holidays should not feel manic.

I am a freelance poet, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. I live with my husband, John, and two charming rescue dogs–Marion Miller and Murphy. We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York. My goal is to create and share poetry with others who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve in you, and feel your sparks as well.

    I’ve gotten away from crowds of all kinds. I basicall shop all year round (I have a closet full of gifts – family and general ‘boxes’. It was funny though at our Thanksgiving that some folks were talking about how early they would be getting up to shop sales and what stores seemed to be best. Our local paper attempted to get their ‘subscribers’ to pay for holiday ads. That went over like a lead ballon. The paper after ‘careful consideration’ back tracked and appologized. Especially after an outcry of possible ‘cancelation of supscriptions’. I agree holidays should not feel manic!!
