Holiday Garlands
This week's theme is
"Holiday Traditions"
"I consider all of you to be part of my poetic family, so let’s create a huge collaborative garland cinquain (2/4/6/8/2) sequence of poetry that connects to each other like a garland of poetry wrapped around a holiday tree."
I offer my own mini-garland of three cinquains!
By the way, this font is "Mountains of Christmas." Yes, I picked it on purpose!
The trips
With my mother
Day after Thanksgiving
San Francisco “big city” shops
I
miss
Fam'ly
Drove to S. F.
Every Christmas Eve
Marina lit up for Christmas
Eyes
shone
Back then
Stockings were hung
By the chimney with care
I loved them more than all the gifts
Wrapped

* I don't pronounce "family" as three syllables, but apparently it IS a three syllable word, so I was forced to add an apostrophe to shorten it to the way I pronounce it!
What lovely memories, Lisa. Those stockings were always the best weren't they? Merry Christmas. <3
ReplyDeleteYes, they were! I loved stockings most! They were opened before the presents, and I'd bring mine back to my parent's bed to open. All the tiny treasures.
