Christmas

Written for https://ronovanwrites.com/2023/12/20/ovi-poetry-challenge-27-new-is-your-inspiration/

School holidays are near

bringing with it Christmas cheer,

sparkly jumpers we will wear

on the last day.

School holidays are near,

bringing with it a constant fear,

a pasted on smile we will wear

on the last day.

What presents will Santa bring?

presents fit for a king,

Festive cheer they will sing

on Christmas day.

No presents under the tree.

What type of day will it be?

Violence they don’t want to see.

Just another day.
