If We Make It Through December
Today’s poem is a little bit different.
I’m doing another poem a day challenge. Earlier this month (November 15, to be specific) the prompt was “stacks,” with the intention of making book spine poetry. I produced the following gem:
Yesterday, the prompt was “playlist,” with the stated purpose of doing book-spine-style poetry with song titles. I opted to look at my Christmas music, and produced today’s poem. As a fun bonus, I pulled it together as a playlist on Spotify. I’ll give the disclosure that I have no idea how it plays out; the point is the titles and the order. I’ll also point out that some of the songs aren’t exactly what you’d expect based on the song title (this features the only version of Baby It’s Cold Outside that I like, for example). But here we are.
