Hello Poetry Lovers
Yes, Christmas is around the corner and I have thrown myself fully into Yuletide.
For a start, I have written a triolet on Christmas – the dark side of the season anyway. This can be a stagnant period of tension and many family rows occur over this season.
I have tried to capture that. Followed by a Christmas alphabet poem which I had to struggle with. 
Anyway, do read on:
Christmas Triolet
Christmas conflicts ring loud and bright
For numerous relatives and wives
Anticipating at least one family fight
Christmas conflicts ring loud and bright
Stingy presents from aunts so tight
Who’ve been resentful all their lives
Christmas conflicts ring loud and bright
For numerous relatives and wives

Thanks for looking in, PL’s. I have to say that last one was hard but I know some of you have really bang up versions of the above form, so answers on a postcard please to the usual address……
