Health and Happiness to You and Yours

December 2, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is the holiday season.

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

A Happy Holidays poem about dressing up holiday wishes in poetry:

Health and happiness to you and yours!
A wish that wings its way from heart to heart,
Pleasure's plenty, drawn from ample stores,
Poised to be converted into art.
Yet rhyme and meter are but bits of grace
Here to shape a feeling into song.
One has words one dresses up in lace
Lest for this more casual dress seem wrong.
Into greetings one pours all one's passion,
Destined for a well-worn, classic mold,
A fancy flaunting of poetic fashion
Yielding all the wish a heart can hold,
Singing, that the wish be sweetly told.
