Assignment-- Try to approach the subject of Christmas unexpectedly. To try to creep up on it unawares, so we don’t actually realise that that is what you are doing, or that the poem or story is going to be about Christmas at all.

Lost in the Forest
(A Villanelle poem version)
Lost in the forest, which path to take?
I lost the track some days ago
Time has blended into an elastic whole.
Bending bushes encroach the path
Brushing my face along the trail,
Lost in the forest, which path to take?
A damp, dark smell of pine and decay
An owl screeches in the dawning dark,
Time has blended into an elastic whole.
A tiny cottage hides away in the woods
Fairy lights sparkle on a pine tree,
Lost in the forest which path to take.
A holly wreath adorns a wooden door
Roasting turkey and so much more.
Time has blended into an elastic whole
A special surprise festive reunion,
I had lost my friends, some days ago
Lost in the forest, which path to take?
Time has blended into an elastic whole.
