Imagism
A type of poetry that uses clear and direct statements to put an exact picture in the reader’s head. A poem written using the imagism style should easily and quickly create visual images that tell the story.
The night air feels crisp and cool
as dusk unveils a trillion stars
and alabaster snowflakes softly
tumble to the ground in silence.
I can see some houses decorated
with Christmas scenes
while others are decked out in colored lights.
And in the distance,
I faintly hear the sound of carolers
singing Xmas songs,
their harmony harassed by blustery breezes.
But on this wintery night
and only this night,
I also hear the silver tinkle of sleigh bells jingling,
echoing off the edge of imagination,
where children's excited giggles override reality.
This Xmas Eve
the atmosphere feels electrified,
in anticipation of a covid free Christians Day.
And soon, it’ll be time to lull the kids to sleep
and let them dream
of what tomorrow will bring.
Xmas holds a magical feeling
that only innocence can impart,
and it’s known to warm the coldest heart.
