Tis The Season

Alone on a beach
dressed for a party
ready to sing.

The water lapping slowly
onto the sand;
calm and gray.

Tis the season
to be lonely.

There goes your
gay apparel.

Strike your harp
and sing a chorus.

After all,
you want someone to follow
your merry measure.

But tis the season
to be lonely
and sing your
fa-la-la's.

Author notes

    Very interesting re-write on the traditional carol. I like how the meter actually lends itself to the somber and almost begrudging tone to the poem. Very touching and an excellent write.
