The Novelist’s Christmas


by DiAnn Mills @DiAnnMills

Up on a bookshelf
A reader’s list
Filled with Christmas
Novels as gifts.
Down through the aisles
With lots of books,
All with metaphors and crazy hooks.

Ho Ho Ho
A writer would know.
Ho Ho Ho
A writer would know.
Oh, up on a bookshelf
Click Click Click
Down through the aisles
Comes a bestseller’s pick.

Grab me a Kindle
Writers heed.
Download multi-books to read.
Some with bad guys
Some with romance
All a reader’s adventure
Filled with mystery and suspense.

Ho Ho Ho
A writer would know.
Ho Ho Ho
A writer would know.
Oh, up on a bookshelf
Click Click Click
Down through the aisles
Comes a bestseller’s pick.

Writer note Pinterest,
Google Plus too,
Goodreads, Facebook, Twitter stew.
Tumblr, You Tube, 
Instagram, Blog
How can I keep up 
With the social media fog?  

Ho Ho Ho
A writer would know.
Ho Ho Ho
A writer would know.
Oh, up on a bookshelf
Click Click Click
Down through the aisles
Comes a bestseller’s pick.


Christmas is nearly here! What would fill your writerly stocking?
