Cloudy skies explode in puffs of snowy white flakes,
Harbingers of excitement and spicy sugar cakes.
Ringing bells peal and chime, blessing Jesus’s birthday,
Icicles hang from the trees in ornate display.
Santa and his reindeer are coming out tonight
To deliver gifts to every girl and boy's delight.
Mommies and daddies are all smiles and hugs of love
As youngsters eagerly search the dark skies above.
Soon night yields to dreams of elves and a flying sleigh,
Drowsy eyes sent to bed to await break of day.
All the months of waiting will soon be at an end,
Yuletide spirits fill their hearts as fun and faith blend.

An acrostic poem. The acrostic is a poem where the first letter of each line forms a word when you read it, in this case “Christmas Day”.

Too often acrostic poems sacrifice good English and scansion, this has no such problem was clearlyof the best and a clever acrostic too!
Can you win any more rounds? Please try.

Before I get to what I'm saying
Let me point out to you a thing
In line 11 you spelt finely
Instead of writing it finally.
With that aside what do I think?
I really like it (insert wink )
It's really cute, and full of cheer
And really fits this part of year!
So good luck and all the best
to you while you're in this contest!
