This week, for the Meet The Bar Challenge at dVerse Poets, Laura wants us to acknowledge the year’s end by using some closing lines of previous poems.
Because it’s December 1st, I’ve used closing lines from whatever poems I posted on the 1st day (or thereabouts) for the past 12 months…

L’hermitage
Don’t even ask about Deadcember,
the promise of impending Winter.
He blames it on Wal-Mart:
she starts the car and is gone.
Outside becomes inside.
He owns the planet.
He feels the empty,
forgets his name.
He goes back to sleep. Waits.
Nobody stood in solidarity
or cared that he was naked.
Thank God.

Scrambled, Not Fried 
this is so well divided up – that last stanza made me chuckle and the whole is a pithy brevity that works so well
“He blames it on Wal-Mart:
she starts the car and is gone.”
Well done, Ron..
This really works! It’s a whole story
Love this … has a kind of humpty dumpty vibe!
Brilliant! It goes from one solid scene to the next with ease. Love the ending 😀
Loved this crazy prompt of Laura’s. Your meld is brilliant, and spot on tone for you my friend — dug it brother… 👍🏼✌🏼❤️
Your combination worked very well, Ron!
Good job on the new found poem specially: Outside becomes Inside.
Enjoyed that 2nd couplet very much. Gave me a smile.
I love that he owns the planet and feels the empty. Insightful as always! 👏👏
It so fascinates me how these random lines can form such an intriguing image and story! Totally a fun “romp”.
Haha loved that ending! Very well done.
These are fabulous!
Excellent! I feel that empty myself…(K)
I get a picture of a bear woken from his winter sleep. The poem has that grumpy kind of tone to it.
Ron, this came together so brilliantly!
That was great how you wove this into such a coherent poem using such diverse input. What a great idea, though. Must try this one. Thanks.
I love this, it gives fun vibes and reminds me of a plant that belonged to my ex he purchased from Wal-Mart. I took while he was at work after we broke up and I refused to give it back.
Anywho, lovely poem ❤
Using the first poem from each month is a cool twist! I like the way it turned out.
Love the ending!! 🙂
This is absolutely stellar, Ron! 😀 And oh that closing .. ❤❤
Wowsers, this is brilliant. Each concise line was like a tip of the ice-berg. Bravo!
Well done, Ron.! An entire story.
