Solitary Plague-Time Christmas in a Studio Apartment
written by: Linda Marie Hilton
If space is tight, then
Hang a wreath, noel greetings
It broadly bequeaths;
Dress it up grandly
Varied greens, very berry
Merry cones ribboned;
Single ornament
Centered amongst greenery
Brings many gazes;
Each painted orb brings
Memories crowded into
All noel tide days;
Social distancing
Our year end fancy fetes does blight,
Parts close kith and kin;
So hang noel cheer
In tight quarters and spread it
Six feet far and wide.
