The Wordsmith's Forge

 Coming soon.

 Some models from a Singapore designer.

Today is the last day of the Holiday Poetry Sale.  If you've been meaning to buy something, now's the time.  The pool with ng_moonmoth is still open, and there are poems left at $10 or less if you have a low budget.  I still have some poetry from Mom and Dad to post.

Thanks to a donation from zianuray, there are two new verses in "The Tree of Damocles."  Tolli introduces the idea of alternative Christmas trees.

Here for the holidays is an updated version of "Santa Baby" with new feminist lyrics.  \o/

Here are the character notes for "With a Warm and Tender Hand."

Midwinter or Yule is a Pagan holiday.  Happy Yule to everyone celebrating tonight!

My partner Doug and I exchanged gifts after sundown.  Mine included a Girl Genius t-shirt, a tie-dyed heart t-shirt with long sleeves, and a carton of fire-coloring sprinkles.  I also got my copy of Stronger, Faster, and More Beautiful from redsixwing.  :D  Several more items for me have not yet arrived.  Doug got several different t-shirts, several decks of cards, a movie, and a book of magic tricks.

The community event will be tomorrow.  We're doing the Longest Night celebration.  That means we'll be starting with the house cold, so I'm going to make a red-and-green salad, and we'll have the hot food brought in from outside. \o/

This poem was written outside the regular prompt calls. It was inspired by the "autumn" square in my 9-30-18 card for the Fall Bingo Fest. It has been sponsored by janetmiles. This poem belongs to the Shiv thread of the Polychrome Heroics series.

Thanks to a donation from janetmiles, there are now 17 new verses in "The Tree of Damocles."  Tolli and Simon propose that Shiv help them make a different kind of Christmas tree.

This one is down to $53 if anyone wants to finish it in time for Christmas.
