Candy cane stripper
Mistletoe, I eat your face
Lick my lolli, pinch!

Talk about coinkidinks... The ad at the top of the page rightnow is for hand made swords!
Now on to this fine example of senru form. The complexity layered into this 5-7-5 is mind boggling. There's the social commentary, the political statement, and of course the autobiographical story of the candy stripper is totally endearing. I'm thoroughly amazed that you were able to slip in the comment about global warming and the hypocrisy of the protesting of Elizabeth Edward's funeral. Then there was the weaving of ancient Japanese mythology... Breathtaking. The goddess lolly to be licked? Genius. I'm not sure I wouldve had the conjure to call out Plato like you so obviously did here, but he'll, he's dead, how hard can he hit back? Right? This poem puts you in the league of Ralph Waldo limericson, Percy Helly, and Lord Bygones. Great job!
too funny this is! Now, I want too see the grinch in a santa suit sneak up behind to tickle this litttle whoo's fancy and steal her lolli.. right out from under her joan of arch sword ...snow flake style...cold wet, and no two alike
My kind of candy cane stripper...indeed. Blitzen has weed? I should've figured. Selene; short, sweet, to the point, and no pun intended on the last two. I need something better to say than "great work" or "nicely done".
