For all the poems in this Two Sylvias Press Advent Calendar challenge, 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 (2025). 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.
Note: I am in 2026, but will continue with the prompts and poems till Dec 31st 2025.
For Day 30 the prompt given to us was to write a poem when your diary betrays you. You can use this opportunity to write an “apostrophe poem” – a piece that beings “Dear Reader” and speaks directly to the reader. Here is my take.
Diary Takes The Stage
The Curtain Opens In The High School Theater
Little Did I Know That The Play Comes Directly
From My Diary. The Thoughts Of Everyone A Puzzler.
Eerily It Came Close To The Participants’ Reality.
Actors Recited What Was Written In The Pages
Of My Journal. They Didn’t Know They Were Acting
They Own Part. Some Flinging Their Rages
And Others Filled With Pressure Cracking
Truth Is Out For Everyone To See.
Dared All To Say It Is False What They Recited
Despite The Betrayal It Set Something Free,
Invigorated And Very Excited.
