Limp Stockings | December 5 Advent Calendar Poetry Series | Advent Poem Ep. 5

What emotions do limp Christmas stockings evoke for you over Christmas? In my poem \’Limp Stockings,\’ I delve into the duality of hope and doubt that surrounds Christmas traditions. This piece captures the essence of childhood wonder mixed with the skepticism that comes with age, reflecting our complex relationship with belief during the festive season.

Limp Stockings
Moonlight spills, liquid silver pooling on the floor.
Stockings hang limp, a tableau both of hope and doubt.
Questions fill air, mingling with gingerbread man\’s pout.
Children\’s eyes wide, then narrowed by a sceptical world\’s lore.

Season Bold | December 4 Advent Calendar Poetry Series – St. Barbara’s Day Poem | Advent Poem Ep. 4

What small traditions make your season bold? 🌟 In my poem \”Season Bold,\” I explore the warmth of St. Barbara\’s Day and the nostalgic rituals of baking and gathering. Each act weaves a rich tapestry of memories, reminding us of the beauty in simplicity and connection. I wrote this to reflect on how such moments resonate deeply in our human experience.
Flour settles in the kitchen, a landscape as white as the first snow.
Shortbread cools on the counter, a sugary hymn to times long past.
Outside, twigs are gathered, each one a line in an unwritten tale.
Woven into wreaths, they speak of nostalgia and earth,
of small things that make the season bold.
جنگل میں رہنے والے ذائقے جو خاموشی سے باتیں کرتے ہیں،
ایک قدیم کہانی کی گونج، دل کی گہرائیوں میں گونجتی ہے۔
ہر ایک لمحہ، ایک یادگار داستان،
جو یادوں کے دھاگے میں بُنا جاتا ہے۔
