The Gift of a Day: Poetry Prompt

By T.S. Poetry 2 Comments

At their root, holidays are meant to create sacred spaces and shared experiences. We don’t always find that to be the case, but the potential is there.

On a day like Christmas, gifts are the center, and ultimately can act as symbols of the deeper gift of sacred space and sharing.

Share your favorite “gift poem” in the comment box. Or pen your own gift poem today. We look forward to the sacred space your words might create in our hearts.

    Christmas Night

    Unpacking the dominoes
    for Mexican train,
    the youngest Brown
    sets the orange
    gamepiece where my
    train will be.

    Six play fiercely
    while the seventh
    peels an orange,
    hands over segments
    when she sees
    each hungry glance.

    Four rinds stacked
    on a napkin.
    The elderly aunt
    wins two rounds.
    Time for pie:
    apple or pumpkin?

    Yes.

    Grace
    Incarnate
    Faith
    Triumphant!
