To get you started here is a couple of poems from the book:
It's Done - January 2nd 2021 And with that it is over, All the Merry Christmas' are done, And I've wished a Happy New Year, 2020 is gone and 2021 is here. *** The countdowns are done, The season of poetry is over, Now onward to more poetry, Stay tuned for more exciting stories.
Christmas List - December 11th 2020 Snow and glitter and castor sugar, All fall in copious quantities. Boxes and bottles and buckets, Full of gifts are carted around, Hats and scarfs and gloves, Have been out for over a month now, Holly and mistletoe and glittery balls, All deck the halls in this happy and joyous time.
Warm pre-seasonal wishes,
William Fraser, AKA The Pesky Poet
