My Take On - The Night Before Christmas

I posted this on the Muse Forum and on my Facebook page. It is my take on - The Night Before Christmas. The names I included in this poem are members of MuseItUp Publishing but it is also a little I offer to you during the Christmas season. So lean back, read and enjoy. If you find yourself laughing and/or smiling while reading then my job is done. 

The Muse before Christmas

Twas the week before Christmas, when all through the net

Lea was frantic, trying to get everything set.

She posted the books in the bookstore with care,

In hopes that readers soon would be there.

Delilah was nestled all snug in her seat,

We’ve seen her covers, what a remarkable feat.

With Tiger, Suzannah, and all the rest,

Now we know why, MuseItUp covers are the best.

When out of the computer there arose such a clatter,

Litsa sprang from her chair to see what was the matter.

Away to the printer she flew with swift feet,

Reviewing the plans for next year’s retreat.

The Google search glistened on a screen what as snow

Publishers and agents, to many to know.

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

But a new publishing house full of passion,

Family, joy and cheer.

What a wonderful house for new authors to take flight,

In no time at all I was called Sir Knight.

As I joined the forums to chat and greet,

Some amazing authors I did meet!

"Now Karen! now, Ro! now, Lin and Kat!

Go, Heather! Go, Ginger! Go, Nancy and Pat!

To the top of the lists! To the top of the Facebook wall!

Now write away! Write away! Write away all!"

As papers and notes that before the wild hurricane fly,

When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.

So to the computers these authors they flew,

With a mind full of stories, and characters too.

And then, in a twinkling, I saw a Kindle and Nook,

While downloading and syncing a new Muse eBook.

Horror, fantasy, romance, and genres for all,

Readers are happy, smiling and having a ball.

If your name is not mentioned, have no fear.

You are all included in this Christmas cheer.

Before I close, one thing more to say.

Remember the blessings on Christmas day.
