December is not just the end of a year — it is a gentle pause.
A space between what was and what will be. It carries quiet winter mornings, soft goodbyes, warm memories, and fragile hopes.
The December Poetry Contest by Kavishala invites you to write from this tender space — where silence speaks, nostalgia breathes, and the year turns its final page.
Whether your poem is about love or loss, endings or beginnings, solitude or warmth — let December be your muse. Write freely. Write honestly. Let your words feel like December.
दिसंबर केवल साल का अंत नहीं है — यह एक ठहराव है।
यादों, खामोशियों और नई उम्मीदों के बीच का एक नाज़ुक सा पल।
Kavishala की दिसंबर कविता प्रतियोगिता आपको आमंत्रित करती है उस एहसास को शब्द देने के लिए — जहाँ सर्द हवाओं में बीते लम्हों की गर्माहट छुपी होती है, और हर विदाई एक नई शुरुआत का संकेत बन जाती है।
अपनी कविता को दिसंबर जैसा बनने दें — सच्चा, गहरा और आत्मीय।
