Notes About The Poem

Bye For Now

It's done. Christmas came and went; the frenzied shopping, friends and family gatherings. Glad to see some at least once a year, on holidays. The day after oft brings a big letdown when all returns to an ordinary day. Oh such choice days spent, now gone; but fine thoughts linger. The first new year resolution; pray this will occur once again, come next December. So bye for now, Christmas, as I gather up and pack away jolliest memories. January 7, 2019 Syllables: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21 For Contest, Strand Special 9

Just last week, I packed away all the cheerful lights and decorations, Sandra. Having been alone for Christmas this year, your poem leaves me with the commitment to travel and see loved ones next year. Awesome writing! Congratulations on your first-place win in Dear Heart's contest. Hugs, Carolyn
