These are 3 different poems that aren’t so merry about the most “wonderful time of the year.”
I.
In Christmases past
Before we wondered if it’d be our last
With loved ones and lovers
We could always look forward
To having each other
To hold close and spread cheer
Merry wishes over beer
This year
It’s all halted by fear
That instead of spreading cheer
We might be spreading COVID
II.
How can I be a Hoe
For the Holidays
When I have no one to
Ho-Ho-Hold me?
III.
What does Christmas mean to you?
Is it about the gifts
Or the food
Or the music
Or the movies selling a romantic fantasy
Or is it family
Reuniting or squashing beefs to put on a cordial front
For the happiest time of the year?
Christmas can be one of or all of those things
But this year, its the thought
That counts
Giving doesn’t have to cost money
Giving doesn’t have to be expensive
Give your time
Give your love
To those around you
And don’t forget
Give to yourself
You deserve it
