Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Wonderful entry for the 5-7-5 Poetry Lost writing prompt contest.
Good syllables count and connection between lines.
Excellent satori with a delightful juxtaposition.
I love the imagery and presentation.
Good luck in the contest.

Went down in flames! But I feel like I nailed Christmas and enjoyed writing it! Good times.
Comment from Rosemary Everson1
Grinch is known for his greed; Perhaps he forgot the real reason why we celebrate Christmas. After much thought, Grinch did change his ways for the better.

It would be hard to be a grinch at Christmas time, alternatively it would be just as bad being a grump at Christmas, this is an excellent 5/7/5 poem, and appropriate at this time, beautifully written good Luck, blessings Roy

Well done
Comment from Bill Schott
This 5-7-5, The Following Year, has the proper word formatting and suggests that years of living alone leave one unprepared for what would seem like suffocating humanity.

Amen brother. Thought a Christmas one would do well. Still, the fun is in the writing. Merry Christmas!

With all the lights and cheer and the presents and indulgences it is easy to forget why we celebrate Christmas and your poem is a timely reminder, love Dolly x

I always think about odd viewpoints like he the Grinch would feel the following year or such. Thanks for the review my friend. Love your new profile
Picture!
Comment from Karyn2
A very bright Christmas presentation! I hope the Grinch doesn't bring too much stress this Christmas! Were you intending "quite" to be "quiet solitude"? Although this would add an extra syllable count.
A very merry and bright Christmas to you!!

Thanks! Good catch. That word is my nemesis. I switched it to ?sweet? which I originally had.

That's great and nice little alliteration!
