Pigmas 2023 24 December
#1
First day of Pigmas! Taking into account some of the feedback in the opening thread, ye respondents may follow one of three tiers:
(1 - GOLD) Write a sonnet based on the day's prompt. The final goal is to produce something approximating a crown of sonnets!
(2 - FRANKINCENSE) Write a poem of a particular form based on the day's prompt. The final goal is to produce something approximating a crown of that form.
(3 - MYRRH) Write a poem on the day's prompt based on your choice of poem from the previous day's prompt, making sure it's the same form as the poem you're responding to.

Today's prompt: 
Write a poem involving a long journey.

(All the prompts will be "involving", rather than strictly "based on". You can choose to write about anything else, for instance -- sonnets are often love poems -- but you have to use a long journey as, say, a metaphor.)

How do I feel about Christmas this year?
Sipping cold coffee as dawn's drawing near
The weather is warm, a new winter norm,
At least I can say it's cozy in here.
Listening to the arhythmic snoring
Some of the voices already warring
I must relax, anxiety attacks
Thunder outside, now the rain is pouring.
Later when I go visit my parents
Imagining all the car accidents
Clogging the freeways, ruined holidays
People desperate to maintain traditions.
How do I feel about Christmas this year?
I desperately want my spirit to cheer.
Peanut butter honey banana sandwiches
