…And Again

In the hands of a less assured poet, the repeated again refrain might have been laboured, but in Paul's hands it adds real weight to the poem.

Paul Curtis

Christmas Again

The advent candle is lit again
The Christmas cards are writ again

Beneath the tree gifts sit again
We’ve overspent a bit again

The Christmas table is set again
Our loved ones are met again

We drink a toast of wet again
And say merry Christmas yet again
