For Just One Day

Christmas comes around just once a year
When carols play in every store
And tree lots start to appear
A time to dream and pray
For a better world
A better life
Even for
Just one
Day.


Caren E. Salas

I know what you're thinking "Caren, really? Christmas in July? Sorry, but I recently started working for The Living Christmas Company so I have Christmas on the brain. This poem is for a special "form challenge" and the form is called "Nonet". It has descending syllables from nine to one. Thought I'd try it out. How'd I do?

      Thanks Mosk! I'm getting there. At least I've started writing again. Hope you are good too!

    Love it! Never heard of that format before but it sounds like a fun challenge to make it work.

      Thanks Jenn, it was fun, actually not as easy as it sounded, but definitely fun.
