mistletoe

improvement in anyone's work... but I liked this because it was cheery. Often my girls and I will make up silly words to carols, ( or any song at all), thus, singing them "wrong". IT was a pleasure to read that part, made me smile..Thank you MET

I heard about this poem somewhere and I wanted to check it out and see who wrote it. :) Though, I guessed it was you. You do have your own style. I like quite a bit of what you've written here, but I think it could use a revision. It was a good idea to submit it and get some feedback. There are times I go back and revise and resubmit some of my work.

The first line has snow men and snow woman. Why not snow man and snow woman or snow men and snow women?

I think your last two stanzas are definitely the best. Your snow bladed song and snow trailed deer lines are very good.

And I think gested is suppose to be jested. Yes, no?

Dear Art.. as usual your light hearted view of laughter and graceful living shines in this work. I love how you meld the symbols of the holiday together... and giddy I become envisioning the sled, blankets and kisses... I become the melting snowpeople lol.. so dear one, I personally say YAAAAY to this light hearted view of winter blues! Thank you... and I do have to say I am shocked that the poem that reflects gay times and joyful living should provoke such nasty behavior from others. This saddens me as I know it must you Art... blessings.. Du Lac

Shame on you both for using the Public Comment Forum for what should be broached in a private message. To get back to the poem....misletoe, as I understand it, is a little sprig of greenery that when hung, encourages people to embrace under it. Therefore, I would simply like to know what does snowmen and women frolicing have to do with mistletoe? And why are people singing Christmas carols wrong? Because they forgot the words? On purpose? To be a smartass? None of these questions are answered, and take away from the thrust of the poem, which I believe was supposed to be about misletoe, not riding around singing Christmas carols wrong which could easily be used as the basis of another poem. What is idiotic to you Annora and Anonymous? Anything you don't agree with 100%? I'm trying to stick to commenting on the poem, not using the public airwaves to make a political statement. That sure smacks of idiocy to me, not my perfectly reasonable questions about this poem which IS somewhat confusing to me!

Dear One, you were NOT the only one approached on this matter of buying votes. Yes, buying, tit for tat, quid pro quo, whatever you wanna call it. This is precisely the reason the voting system on Literotica is a giant joke. I also got that email, and I, like you, did not give it the decency of a read OR a response, and now I will never read or vote on this persons work, or that of anyone else who it seems has succumbed to this vanity.

Sorry, MET, I enjoyed the poem, just not the way you were treated about it. Sack, do something on your own!! earn the nominations, earn the H's, quick cheating, which is what it really is...also, your comments cheapen others work now that you are out in the open, and shame on anyone who needs votes so badly they are party to your games

and yes, I prefer to remain anon because I do not need another troll in my own life and I know how petty people on here can often be

Art writes with a simple love of words. His poems his short stories are works of art. He plans to entertain, he does this he can also make a person stop and think.

He is a natural writer, his works come from a heart of a good soul.

This was a short entertaining fantasy poem.

I would feel remiss if I stopped here. Sack it Sack! Your criticizing his work was stupid and I find it laughable. I got an email from you asking me to read one of your works and if I voted 'Please don't vote less than a 5 because a 4

wasn't good in this situation.' You wrote to me instructions

on how to vote or not to vote. You might have come in third

but your coming in third you should be ashamed if I wasn't the only one you approached.

I dare believe I wasn't. By the way I didn't read it, I didn't vote on it. I don't respond to idiocy.Well you did provoke me to do this, this one time.

Why they are singing the Christmas carols WRONG, since everything else about the poem is so positive. I also don't see how the snowmen and women frolicing has anything to do with misletoe. There are many ideas here, from which you could have derived several poems. I cannot go 100 percent, as there are too many confusing/incomprehensible lines which hindered my understanding of the poem.
