December Blues Poem by Darwin Henry Beuning

I appreciated very much getting your Christmas card. As you say, Christmas can be a sad time for some people.

(cont.) 2. AND saying I'm sorry, even if not completely meant OR deserved, can do wonders sometimes to 'keep things going'. so, i think this poem is too pessimistic and your December Wish is too optimistic. ;) bri

1. i've had 3 divorces and they weren't the 'end of the world' for anyone i know of. they were liberating for most people involved, ...though my 3rd wife (she divorced me) regretted her decision later. but, sure, some divorces may be worse than staying married. i like marriage 'cause it sort of keeps me or 'her' from giving up too easily. (cont.)

I've always thought red and green were Christmas colors. I learn something new every day!

Yeah social sad episodes among families can dampen festive seasons as you describe in a fine realistic poetic way. Hoping it's a season of family love and joy for you sir so the blues are in the poem eloquence only. Kudos. Soo nice to read from your inking again pleez do comment/review my newest poem too, titled, Dream Holiday places. And merry Xmas in advance.
