Boxing Day

M.E.M.

Light and fun.

Freezing to the bone,

but I don’t utter a word.

Celebrating Christmas

We got through the festivities

Not torn apart by family members

only embraced.

 

Black Labrador

mellow

full of British culture

food made to feel at home

 

Back at the house

clues were found

dark magic in action

All for fun

 

but the night

coming to a close

meant Boxing day

was over

    jarring to read this in the crippling heat of June
    but also, somehow adds more weight to your
    nostalgic words,
    why do we assume, there will always be a better boxing day
    in our future? what about, this chaotic existence we call life
    means we're even guaranteed another one?
    and that, dear poet is why write's like yours
    are always timeless and necessary!
    we must, celebrate our wonderful memories
    so that those who read: can be reminded
    its not all doom and gloom;
    however sweltering the heat
    or dreary grey, those gathering clouds,
    good days: exist
    just a few puffs of a wind, away...
    thanks for sharing dear poet
