It's the most poetic time, of the year

Written to the melody of the song: "It's the most wonderful time of the year"

It’s the most poetic time, of the year

where the writers are writing,

their poems igniting,

good comments of cheer,

It’s the most poetic time, of the year

 

It’s the prose, prosiest season of all

with those verses a’ flowing,

of winter and snowing,

and decking the hall,

It’s the prose, prosiest season of all

 

You’ll read stanzas of loving

of snowballs they’re gloving

and packages under the tree

 

There’ll be lines filled with phrases

of faith and its praises

in every poem you see

 

It’s the most poetic time, of the year

you’ll find fun penned for reading,

and thoughts you are heeding,

it soon will be clear,

It’s the most poetic time, of the year

I just loved this poem for its beautiful description of the season. I have read winter being described as many things but prosiest season of all is a first and that's just what I love about it! It conveys many things to me but most of all your sheer love and passion for words. Kudos Willweb! Here's wishing you a stupendous poetry filled 2023!

Thank you dear friend. The start was so utterly beautiful. So I hope it goes on in the same vein. :)

Wow willweb! this is the first time I've ever sung my way thru a poem :)
This is Great! Great lyrics! Great rhythm! I'm in awe, I don't know how you do it!
...ok, so how do you do it? haha

[willweb]

Thanks JD. Glad you sang along with this one. I don't know, I heard the song one day and started singing "It's the most poetic time of the year" and then decided to write to the melody some poem/winter/Christmas song lyrics. I am glad you liked this. Now...is that song stuck in your head? It is in mine.

Haha, Yes, and I'm none too happy about it, willweb, it being also the theme song/meoldy of those back-to-school ads on TV! :))
