A poem I wrote for a December-themed contest on Literotica's Poetry Forum. It bombed there ... with a resounding *thud* Can you identify all of the December events it references?
Hark how the silver celled
slay balls ring
'round the rosy viral garland
white ribbons and yellow massacre
for whom the death tolls
an immaculate concept, imagine
there's no pearled harbor
full of tea or Bulged battle
as a creamed cigar flickers
in the menorah of velvet revolution
impeachy secession, schnapping the chain
reaction of a nuclear bus boycott
while a bull sits no more
and an ear hears naught
the screams over Lockerbie
brothers take flight, wrapped
in the twelve daze of candied caning
one Pole effected, another elected
and a mad monk sunk
in the river of impunity
press passed and Bhopal gassed
amnesty for the civilly warred
and freedom for the civilly whored
frequency spans the waves
wireless words celebrating
the son and the seven
the Sagittarian solstice
and the year's sunset
lest history disremember
December

it bombed because it is awful. YOu try to be too cute with your word play and it is so ibvious, it offends teh intelligence of anyone who reads it beyond the intelligence lacking buffoons you kiss up to on LIt.
Ah, anonymous. How lovely to see you. Still hiding behind that anonymity, I see. Well, that makes your opinion worthless.
Oh, and if you ever hope to be taken seriously, you might want to try a spell checker.
peace,
