Seasons Greetings to @TopTweetTuesday poets. Its been a wonderful year of poetry, I've enjoyed my Tuesday nights reading in the bath🛀! Many thanks to the poets, hosts, and especially @MatthewMCSmith. Tricky to choose 3 poems from the year, as the prompts have been so diverse

Hello Tuesday & @TopTweetTuesday poets. My offering: about a festive event using - a lesser known colour shade - 2 words that are hardly used, including an archaic word - an extravagant simile - a wacky or unexpected metaphor. Blimey! Thanks for the workout @MatthewMCSmith
