Jubilant shoppers scamper down the street looking for super sales on Christmas Eve. And holiday smiles greet all friends they meet feigning they’re in a hurry to leave. It was snowing to everyone's delight and the people were friendly and cheerful. Then I saw something that didn't look right and my mood changed from jolly to tearful. A beggar and his dog shared a bedroll snuggling up close, attempting to stay warm. And it was plain; cold had taken its toll yet together, they'll survive this storm. I've never seen such beautiful sadness true love, amid this indulgent madness. (Sonnet) Dec. 31, 2018 Beautiful sadness Poetry Contest Sponsored by: John Hamilton
