So I really, really, reaaaally wanted to write something... So I ended up browsing for Christmas prompts and I came across this little challenge: "Try to write a Christmas story using only one-syllable words." Now this is harder than it looks. DX Instead of writing a Christmas story, I ended up writing this poem. Poems, I suck at. But I kind of liked how this turned out. I could only use one syllable words, so here are the results. The Joy of This Time To Me Bows, lights, all that seem bright Dot the streets and all in sight All kids have joy in their eyes For the day of cheer and toys is nigh Smells of baked goods waft through the house Little hands take a bite like a mouse No one minds the cold air That nips and bites, but who cares Hot drinks, gloves, and fires Warms the soul, gifts are spied Hearts are glad, minds are at peace This is the time of the year to be at ease How you spend your time Is how you see what a child sees in their eyes Snow falls, the world seems to glow Songs of the heart drift on the air and flow To me, this is a time to share How blessed we are, and how the world is fair
