#jolliness

grinning hard
on one side of a bridge

I fake it till I make it 
and cross 
from performative 
to authentic
joy

The darkest waves of hate
can never flatten the levees
built upon joy,
#jolliness,
and the jovial juggernauts
who, with tender hands,
seeded the roses of resistance.

after all the #jolliness
left alone to clean the mess
wrapping paper, ribbons, tinsel
popcorn, streamers into bins go
empty punchbowl
can you hear the wolves howl?
from this #minute #prison cell
you call home and I call…hell

The magic of the holiday
a child-like wonder
and the #jolliness
of a grandfather with
treats in his pocket
an idyllic time
that no one can
snatch away

#emoetry #jolliness

You may need ear protection
I have loud laughter
I am a cyclonic force of nature
Start with some dramatic entrance
Pull out a chair
Sit down and chat
Some wild chaotic story
Trouble with police
My fierce politics
I'm told I'm this way
Santa without the dress code
Extra jolliness

What to say about this fading jolliness? Don’t stop?!
We need you…
I want you here with me, in my heart, to fill my soul.
Please!

But spending even a minute thinking about authoritarian prison for children slaps the joy away…
With ease!!

Not inclined
Toward
Jolliness
Or even good
natured fun
But often
Amused
By those
Attempting
Such convivial
Acrobatics
In an attempt
To reinforce
An optimism
A little frayed
At the edges
Warding off
The realities
Of a universe
Unfolding
Quite often
As it shouldn't

Exit Poll Shove your jolliness up your ass, Rebecca You wouldn't go because you don't like port-a-potties and it was windy You don't make time to make things important, you only schedule battles that fit your schedule You can, and will, enjoy the fruits of this small victory even though you never lifted a finger in its creation Passive and pensive and afraid of retribution for a movement you watched from your couch

I know, I know we all resist in our own way. Every little bit.. blah blah blah

I am pretty sure we all have a 'Rebecca' though.

His #jolliness was famous.
His manger had many a moose
Named for Santa’s reindeer.
Every night they dined on beer.
His jolliness was famous
Until one of the moose got loose!

'How's it going #mate?'
Forced #jolliness
but I feel like shit

can I just hang a
'do not disturb' sign
get under the covers
& hide,
make like
a #famous diva
& tell everyone
to go away

the #answer
is to call in sick
& take a duvet day

instead, I get up,
get dressed
& go on
my gumpy way.

In the third week of the new regime,
#Jolliness was prohibited
Only mild amusement was permitted
It was shortly after that,
People began opening secret places
Truly underground comedians thrived
At the private Grinseasys
Where the password was "joy"

A feigned jolliness
To their demeanour, a scream
Hides behind that smile.
