! One-Word Poem: 'Hallowgoodbuymas' Poem by Michael Shepherd

One word...
poetry in notion;
reminds you of
your deepest fears;

thus inferred,
deep as the ocean,
full of the dampness of
disappointed tears...

too absurd;
devoid of emotion;
magic once; now far off
in succeeding years...

that season dedicated to
Mercator; from Halloween
to the New Year Sales
(invitation-only preview,
Christmas Eve...)

worshipped in the faith
that your Babe needs gifts,
so wise up, don't be
a dog in the Manger...

Hallowgoodbuymas...
says it all really...
except of course
what goes without saying.
