In a Random Acts of Poetry celebration, poet David K. Wheeler has invited us to write about our Christmas ghosts: past, present, or future. He’s also giving away a copy of Contingency Plans: Poems.
Leave a comment at Dave’s place by next Thursday, 9pm EST, for a chance to win a copy. Include your poem post link, for definite links here and a chance to be featured in a follow-up post here next Friday.
