Christmas Eve

This is a series of short sonnets based on suggestions by Vocal friends in the Vocal Social Society. I will include a suitable video as well.

The challenge is “Give me a subject and five words and I will try and create a sonnet”.

This is from Caroline Jane:

Subject: Christmas Eve

Words: Cheese crackers mistletoe wine bells.

It's Snowing Out on Christmas Eve

I'm warm inside, Crackers and Cheese

Mistletoe hangs, Wait For A Kiss

A Glass of wine, Someone I miss

֎

Church Bells are ringing, Christmas Night

Midnight Mass? I thought that I might

But I am warm and so comfy

I laze and drink my wine slowly

֎

A song comes on, this is the time

Cliff Richard, Mistletoe and Wine

There are worse songs that I have heard

Aitch Webb's Millennium Prayer

֎

Let the Church Bell's Ring Out Their Song

That Christmas Kiss Won't Be Too Long

    I am in a daze! What did I do? Did I give the words? Too tired to compute. Sorry Mike, am just not with it! Been a long few days. ❤️
