PYPIASM: Poems that didn’t make it

1

Put your poem in a shop-month, is nearly done;
There’s still rhyme-time for elves, left to have some fun.
Here’s a card with a note, penned to make you smile,
As you stand in the line— it could take a while,
Since you’re shopping so late, yes, it’s Christmas Eve;
It will all work out great, if you just BELIEVE!

2

What you buy will fade from mind,
Sooner than you think.
Doesn’t matter what you find,
The thrill goes in a blink.
My advice is this, to truly make the season bright:
Tell someone you love them, then hold them really tight!

“The Whale and Ale” at THE WHALE AND ALE!

 
Greetings Poetry Bus-riders and guests!

I have a little announcement to make:  I have just been informed by the proprietor at the now famous, “Whale and Ale Pub” (actually, they ARE famous locally, for their chicken wings), that they will be putting my poem up for all to enjoy!

I contacted them the other day and gave them the link to have a look and they thought it was a great read, so they want to post it at the actual source of inspiration.

If you’ve not read the poem, you can find it below here, along with a podcast of yours truly, reading it!

Hey, Niamh! Does this count for IPYPIASM?  No! That would be IPYPIAPM! ha ha
