white wonderland, snowy sidewalks,
freezing hands, foggy breath,
hot chocolate, blazing fire,
tinted trees, kids laughing,
lovers desire, heaped blankets,
garland doors, baked cookies,
christmas cheer, gathering kinfolk,
parents trying their children to appease,
waiting for midnight's stroke, saying prayers,
everyone waiting for Santa Clause to appear.

Very nice
Oh it sounds wonderful and almosy magic doesnt it

this was a nice scenario, but i didnt really like the way it was written, to me it seemed like you just put random facts about the season into a poem. almost as if it used to be very long and you shortened it into fewer words.
but the imagery was still nice which is good.
thanks for entering and goodluck

Short but Sweet
Although this poem is almost too short for my taste, it truly captures the spirit of the holiday with just a few words and you definately accomplished that with as few words as possible. Good job
