For all the poems in this Two Sylvias Press Advent Calendar challenge for 2023, visit my musings here.
Prologue: This is a 31 day event that helps poets and authors all over to pen down 31 new poems in the month of December (2023). Every day we can open the calendar for that day to read about the prompt for that day. Then let your imagination fly to infinity with your thoughts and voice.
For Day 30 the Prompt given to us was to write a poem about something shared between two individuals. I wrote the poem in couplets as requested but not sure if these are 2,4,8,10, etc syllables. I don’t understand syllables :(. Anyways, here is my take.
Prompt 30: Shared Memories; Shared Lives.
We share the same bench
Every day at school lunch.
We exchange each other’s simple banquet.
Covering each other with the same jacket
When it starts to rain; She gives me bright
Colored ribbons making my hair spotlight.
Shared memories; dispensing sweet stories
All our lives; until the end of jollies
Came when she shaved her head
To cheer me and wipe away tears shed.
