Wrapped

A holiday snowfall, as if decreed by Hallmark
fluttered by the window, softly dancing
demanded that coziness increase

The electric fireplace pretended to crackle
but only hummed and thrummed
its flames cheerfully choreographed

Creamy cocoa swirled, lifted a steamy finger
nudged my senses, it overcame me
with giddy gulps of sugared comfort

and

swaddled in a sheepskin blanket
carefully cocooned, I tried to imagine
That half that warmth was still you

Task Prompt:
Write a poem about loneliness using warm, inviting language.
