Sometimes we just want to read about the holiday we're closest to. |
The stories and poems in this book are, so far: Christmas and Hannukah. Thanksgiving, New Years, St. Patrick's Day, and Easter. I hope to add more as the year progresses. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy the collection. It's brand new, although many of the pieces aren't. Currently there are 52 items. I have used one entry to begin each holiday represented. To find the holiday you desire, you may have to go to the bottom and advance to another page. (There are currently three pages.) I ALWAYS REWARD REVIEWS. It depends on the quality of the review how much I send you in reply. Most reviews receive 150 gps, but that depends on how helpful one is as to how high I go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ String of Haiku: Parade We sat on the porch As the parade traveled by Fire engines sirened Then came the horses Saddles studded with silver Prancing a street dance Clowns flip-flopped about With flowers squirting water That carried laughter Marching uniforms Boomed and beat out the rhythm In synchronized steps Pooches on leashes One leaving a pool behind As they strutted on A hula-girl float With a paper maché tree Danced of Hawaii Elvis in person Singing about his hound dog Looking very young A Karate team With colored belts dangling down Kicking at the air Police black and whites With whirling lights of orange The closing salute Smiling spectators First meld and then separate The party’s over So Grandpa and I Return to our waiting game Parades of chessmen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * Please drop by my webpage: {http://karenriggin.com/my-blog.html} My blog is a writing blog, where I add chapters. Currently in its rough draft stage is my NaNo 2013 novel: The Downside of Solar Panels -- a young witch decides to install solar panels on the cottage where she lives. But how can she achieve her goal of financial independence when a warlock, werewolves, ghosts and a neighborhood vampire keep intruding? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
