Joyful Everything

A rondeau

Hang the mistletoe, right where we will find ourselves on Christmas Eve; it’s not the presents or the food that puts us in a joyous mood — it’s the making of memories.

We’ll stand together and we’ll see how heavy hearts will surely be the true gift of what needs renewed — hang the mistletoe.

The season brings with it a key, unlocks what’s lost, and all it means, what to toss and what to include new beginnings if you’re so moved start with a kiss and a belief hang the mistletoe.

French poetic forms are my favorite. Thank you to Ravyne Hawke for this fun prompt.
