Poetry Drafts / 25 December 2022

To essay or not essay this Christmas Day,
that is not a question for another time
as the clock ticks down towards submission deadline.

To write or not write this Christmas Night,
paragraph upon paragraph of plight
long into the dying of the light;
oh, the fear of candlelit stage freight.
