Ama Kit Xmas Gift - 12_2020

I wrote this poem for an English assignment (it’s surprising, how many half decent works I write
for school), but it was based on feelings much older than the prompt and has since had a story of
revisions and sharing that outlived that grade.
For context, the word “hiraeth” is a Welsh word which if you put it into Google Translate comes
out as “nostalgia” in English. More accurately, it translates to “a nostalgia or homesickness for
a home you can never return to, or a home which maybe never was.” I thought it very
appropriate for a girl who is not really old enough to feel the traditional type of nostalgia, yet
empathizes with it nonetheless.
