Christmas Alone

while the world rejoices in a whirlwind of snowflurries under a dark velvet cloak intent my curtains drawn I make myself invisible behind closed doors shunning crowds of gregarious exuberance alone and isolated aloof keeping my distance searching for solace within the quiet of my walls Submitted on December 8, 2019 for contest WRITING CHALLENGE - DECEMBER, 2019- I WANT CHRISTMAS POEMS sponsored by DEAR HEART – WIISHKOBI ODE - RANKED 1ST Originally posted on April 8, 2019

Sometimes the crowds during Christmas become over powering. I never entered a store to shop this year. I bought everything online. Thank you Amazon! I can relate! Congratulations on your First Place win Line. Mele Kalikimaka! : ) xxoo

That's the way to do it, Connie. The only way to enjoy the holidays is to pace ourselves. Mele Kalikimaka indeed!
