A Walk To Remember-Christmas Acrostic Poem

Missing image

A long time ago on a cold mountaintop I took a long

Walk across a blanket of fresh snow
Along the way I stopped and noticed a fresh set of tracks that
Lead for at least a hundred miles north of where I was standing
Kaleidoscopes appeared in my mind as I noticed another set behind it

There were little Christmas presents along the way that must have fallen off
Over the few miles that I walked I realized that it was true

Remembering stories of a jolly old man dressed in a red suit
Every Christmas he would ride his sleigh pulled by his twelve reindeer
My heart rejoiced as the tracks became more clear and evident
Every step I took I just couldn’t seem to contain myself
My only hope was that I would somehow be able to catch up with him
Before the Christmas moon vanished and was replaced by the morning sun
Entering a small neighborhood I finally saw his empty sleigh and
Reached a sudden feeling of euphoria as I saw the real Santa Claus for the first time

    Beautifully written acrostic!

    This is inspiring. I've never written an acrostic. Maybe, I'll give it a shot. This one sets me back in time to fond memories of my Evil Knievel stunt motorcycle that I got for Christmas when I was 7 (in 1977). That thing was awesome. I could even get him to jump down the stairs, and he'd still be hauling at the bottom. Ah....the memories. Then, there were those Christmases when I got my favorite G.I. Joe action figures. Good times filled with endless battles with Cobra.

    This is a nice poem and I really like it. I have to admit that I admire you for writing an acrostic, because I never seem to be any good at those. I like the sentiment portrayed as it is rather touching. The only thing that kinda throws me off are the lines that are a little too long so they take up two lines instead of one. It kinda messes with the acrostic quality. Other than that though, this is really nice, and I like it

    Very well written. I can easily tell that you would have love nothing better than to see the real Santa. Nice use of words to display a scenery.
