The velvet black of night has come,
And on this plate is but a crumb.
The frost has left me bitter cold,
And with this I feel so mighty old.
The clouds swirl round for dreamy thought,
The stars pull tight round chimneys taught.
The sounds of jingles fill the sky,
Youth has kept well alive!
Their antlers bob like clockwork fast,
Over the foggy rooftops much amassed.
We work together for the childrens joy,
And all shall have at least one toy.
A cookie and milk are food for the soul,
They keep me going, tired and old.
And down the chimney I shall slide!
Within your stockings I will hide,
Presents, gifts, and wants of course.
A simple smile is such a force.
To drive my existance to the minds,
Of the little children, "blind",
Who do not "know" a single thing,
They imagine such wholesome things.
It keeps me well alive you see,
I am more than you thought could be!

An amazing write
I love the personality it has and the beautiful rhyme. I don't get the part On this plate is but one crumb
Is the whole thing from the view of Santa? I love this part- A simple smile is such a force. It could not have been put any clearer. A beautiful write. What inspired it?

In the forth line I would leave out "so" it doesn't really hurt it, it's just how I prefer it lol.
Other than that it's beautiful hunni!!! I love Christmas and when it comes to this time of year I'm just a little kid!!!!
Good luck in the contest!
