Notes About The Poem

Gift - Wikipedia

Love Language of Yuletide Poetry Contest, sponsored by Nette Onclaud, 2025 December 15

Gifts

Blend the bright, vibrant tropical themes 
and dark, moody gothic styles 
—the hub of lush vitality 
and the hauntingly ancient
—a world of decay, not an end, 
but a fertile ground for foresight, 
golden light through leaves,
jars hold laughter, salt, and rain—
roots drink what we were.
