An Advent Calendar Of Love
You Know Who This Is For
Introduction
We have an Advent Calendar and we open a door each day together. I decided to take this concept into a poem. Advent Calendars have a varying number of days but I have decided to do twenty-five.
For this, I have created a structure of an opening couplet, five cinquains to open the doors and a closing couplet.
Also for the door numbers I want to use the words for Polly Jean Harvey's "Orlam" as far as I can and the rest as Gaelic numbers, the review of how it continues to inspire is after the poem. Note "Fiche" is pronounced as two syllables (fih-ha) . I may get some of the Gaelic syllables wrong but it should work overall.
I hope you like this.
The music I have chosen is The Housemartin's beautiful "Caravan Of Love" because Caravan sounds a bit like a calendar.

Smooth Again
The Prompt Write a poem about something smooth. This is the same format as my first entry, although this time I am thinking of items that are smooth. I also love the fact that the adjective is smooth and the verb is smoothe but they are pronounced exactly the same.
