December Poem Dump

 

Since we missed a November poem dump, here is one for December! These are poems I've written over the last year that either didn't get published or have been published but are favorites of mine. Enjoy! And Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays!

Holiday Poems (a.k.a. Christmas Poems!) 🎄❄️🎅🎁

Oh, hi there. You caught me reminiscing about my old junior high school choir concerts. So let me share some Christmas-themed poems with you! Since Christmas is just a few days away!

Winter Poems & Prose

 

In Flint, Michigan, we recently had our first snowfall for the season. This has gotten me in the mood to share some winter-themed poems & prose.

Winter always makes me feel melancholy and forlorn. The first major loss in my life happened over Christmas break 1996 when my grandpa Harold passed away. I took that loss very hard. I was only 12 and didn't really understand death, like I do now, as you see with the poem about my step-grandmother Karen below. Winter is also the time when I would have a seasonal depression (which has now shifted to summer depression, thanks Latuda!).

Anyway, I am sharing with you today three poems and a prose.
