Hi everyone, With the holidays fast approaching, how about a poem containing the word "festooned"? For some reason, just thinking about that word makes me happy. How about you?  |

Where is everybody? Come on, you guys, "festooned" is an awesome word!
Here's an example:
festooned with plumbago blossoms
his ebony coat gleaming
he sleeps peacefully
beneath the oleander bush
caressed by the gentle breeze
of autumn
dreaming cat dreams

The glistening new yacht lies, a rare jewel in the Christmas harbour. Her bright-work glints in the sunlight and her running lights twinkle into the night.She carries her country's pride at the masthead and a daisy chain of bunting is festooned from nose to mast head and back on down to the transom, framing the whole art work.
She is the magnificent "THE PRIDE OF LANKSTONE"

What a colourful display of poetry, a lovely calm pussycat sleeping lazily under oleander bushes and I can just see your christmas yacht Neal lighting up the harbour and nice to see a prose poem. |

Great job Dianne and Neal. I feel more festive already. I'm imaging my black cat, Ben, curling happily on the deck of a sail boat, cruising on a river ablaze with Flame Trees. Always better to be festooned, I think, than marooned, but, then, I guess it could depend on the company... I feel like I'm in good company here! |

You guys are doing great! I'm sorry I can't take part this time. I am pretty sick with fever and aches and pains.. I am unsure whether it is flu or flare up of my inflammatory illness. I'm pretty much staying close to bed, with the counterpane 'festooned' with electonic gadgets. There you go!  Love you guys!~ |
