ChatGPT and I had a difference of opinion over whether “family” is two or three syllables. For these, it is three syllables, “fam-i-ly”.
(I use ChatGPT as a beta reader and reviewer. I haven’t gotten around to looking at Gemini yet. )
Summer’s here, heat waves and storms
Forty degrees, floods
Yeah. Sub-tropical summers.
Families travel, sanguine?
Christmas reunions
Smiles and cheer, no anger, here?
Fearing seeing family
Fearing scorn and guilt
Is there any Christmas cheer?
Alone and crying again
Another Christmas
Poignant grief. Will it end?
Homeless, help, no fridge, no phone
What Christmas dinner?
Thank you to all volunteers
Expectations run so high
Planned, careful menus
Will the new wife sink or swim?
Hermit, alone, not hoarder
Just seeks, peace, quiet
Don’t care for Christmas
Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Christmas
Faith, no faith, okay
No pressure, season’s blessings.
Take the decorations down
Christmas-time was here
A clean slate for the new year.
