slumber party hosted by famous bard?
i’ll sleep not a wink while genius sleeps hard
thoughts of sonnets and great theatrical works
poetic lore over snores, s’mores, and smirks;
in my warm flannels with hot cup of tea
i’ll dream of writing brilliant poetry!

alack and alas, christmas is past
and the yule tree still up? it’s nearly
epiphany! to (let it) be or not to be
is the overly-decorated question?!
(gaze on yon three mrs. butterworth
glass sages, trussed in bold felt and
trimmed with glittery pipe cleaners)
yet forsooth, i know in truth that
all that glistens is not (fool’s) gold;
come now forthwith, be great in act
and i shalt de-decorate manor thus!
oh boxes, boxes, wherefore art thou?

Written in response to Jane Kenyon’s “Taking Down the Tree” and Megan Willome’s “De-decorating and Hamlet”.
