No matter what time of year, far or near
Gather together, the ones you hold dear
Reminisce about the days, when life was a trip
Remember to cherish, such lasting friendships

The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”. You may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you. More info can be found in the link below.
Galaxies full of wondrous delight
Tis a small child’s endless dream
To spin with celestial floating orbs
In such a beautiful astral scene
Even his shadow’s along for the fun
Still, he’s far away from the skies
With colors igniting his imagination
There’s a spark, a gleam, in his eyes
So fascinated, by the universe above
He stops, for a moment, to stare
Wondering what it is that he’ll need
To explore these worlds, up there

A blanket he kept, so soft and warm
Held the faintest hint of her perfume
He refused to toss it, into the wash
The fragrance would no longer loom
Her coffee mug and glasses, sat there
On the patio table, they were waiting
For her to return, to finish her book
The one, she said, was so frustrating
He made sure the candle was burning
Should she return to this place, near dark
So he sat on the porch swing, humming
Like they used to do, in the county park
A heavy sigh, now escaped his lips
As he slowly stood, to go back inside
He couldn’t bear to blow out the candle
So he stood there instead, and just cried
The love of his life was no longer
Her dreams were never quite fulfilled
He gathered her warmth, from the blanket
But he still couldn’t evade death’s chill
December Writing Prompt – A blanket, soft and war, with the faintest hint of her perfume – Day 5/31

The sky looked dismal, I expected it to rain
Of course, no umbrella, it’s always the same
But to my surprise, the rain never showed
Instead, white flakes fell, as beautiful snow

#poetry, #tankatuesday, Colleen's Weekly Poetry Challenge, dorindaduclos.com, Etheree, family, flashbacks, memories, Night Owl Poetry, poems, poetry challenge, writing, yuletide. Christmas
It’s the beginning of a new month and you know what that means!! Poet’s choice! I chose the words Christmas and Flashback. Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!
Written as an Etheree, my synonyms are Yuletide and Memories.
The
Yuletide
Spirit shines
Glows in our hearts
Brings us warmth within
Our home, filled to the brim
With love, family gathers
Exchanging hugs instead of gifts
Relating stories of days long past
Memories to share for generations
