How About Those Holidays

December 5, 2017

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. This week’s theme is holidays, in honor of the holiday season.

Today’s poem is a Happy Holidays about the continued need for holidays even as one grows older.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

How about those holidays!

A festive time of year,

Perhaps because the shortened days

Presuppose an inward gaze,

Yet stir a need for cheer.

How about those holidays?

One knows that they are near,

Listening as the music plays

In stores and squares the songs of praise,

Delightful to the ear.

Although the childhood dream decays,

Yearning that no reason sways

Still holds the season dear.
