Merry Christmas — don't even stand in the way of those fierce youngsters and their intended targets.
I loved it in the contest thread and I still do. Powerful quirkiness, great images, and not a wasted word. It's a keeper. :)
Your poem has been recommended in the new poems review thread on the Poetry Feedback and Discussion forum.
...the honor ... the honor ... of reading this exquisite and terrifying piece still lingers. Wonderful imagery. I believe there is entirely NOT enough allusion to art and literature in modern poetry, let alone well crafted allusion. Excellent work, as i'm sure you Intended.
.....this was one of the poems that made voting in the December challange so hard. On any given day it would get my #s but the company was so rich. I seriously admire this poem, it could so possibly have been the winner. A definite 5+.
