“Your Luck Is About To Change”by Susan Elizabeth Howe
You'll need to read the entire poem to understand why it reminds me of this story I recently saw about a dragon nativity scene. There's more coverage of the story at BoingBoing.(A fortune cookie)
Ominous inscrutable Chinese news

What happened to freedom of expression? I popped over to that article and read it. Wow. But I do like poem-and the dragons too. Merry Christmas!!!! Hope it is a very joyful, peaceful and wonderful day for you. Hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteikr? And in the name of Jesus they sent that anonymous judgmental missive. I don't think they realize that theirs was the greater offense against the spirit of Christmas. We are looking forward to a wonderful Christmas :) I wish you all the peace and joy of the season :)
DeleteI heard the dragon story earlier. Made me laugh because the creche in my home is non-traditional. Some people are just not happy unless they complain.

ReplyDeleteThat's what I think :) I'm wondering about the poor woman who made the anonymous complaint. She needs more fun and variety in her life.
DeleteA friend of mine once had a Christmas spider, as her Halloween decorations were still up at Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a joyful Christmas.

I have a bunch of plastic green onions on my tree. To each his or her own, right? :)
DeleteHow fun to read about the dragons. SO glad the lady wasn't bullied into removing them. It takes all kinds to make this world and everyone in America has a right to their own beliefs. But they should also be respectful of others. I see why you chose that poem.
ReplyDeleteI am sure I'll visit you for Christmas, but will still wish you a lovely day, regardless. Merry Christmas, dear friend.
That's exactly how I feel :) We have different ways of expressing ourselves, and the dragons weren't hurting anybody. Tame dragons ;)
