Ronovan Décima Poetry Challenge #22
“Blend” In the A rhyme line
Braving the cold by stores’ front end,
Faithful servant in Christmas corps.
Tattered coat hard to ignore,
Through rain and snow, he must contend!Among shoppers, he doesn’t blend.
Seek pennies for smiles – fair exchange
Into his bucket, gathered change
Charities’ Christmas bell ringer.
Thru the season he will linger,
Gathering bits of your loose change©2020 cj holm
Ronovan Writes Décima Poetry Challenge Prompt No. 22 (BLEND) This week, it’s the A rhyme line.

I used the word BLEND this week after reading your Haiku. I interpreted it a couple of ways but one was a cup of coffee, so I was looking at Brew and used the synonym Blend. But this is much better.
I thought about coffee blends, but I always end up going with Folgers!
I think we use Eight O’Clock. I like it. Wasn’t a coffee drinker ever until my concussion. Wasn’t a cat person either, now love ’em. I had curly hair, now basically straight. Lot of weird things happened.
The good news about losing my sense of smell, from my stroke 25 years ago, is that I personally believe I have never smelled better!
Beautifully penned 🙂
This a beauty I really like it 💜
Well done. Melancholy captured perfectly.
