Poem Title:
Poem
He stood still in the chilling winter breeze, with a carrot for a nose, two sticks for hands, two buttons for eyes, and six tiny buttons for a mouth. During the day, children liked playing around him, skating and dancing as they danced, sung, and screamed; the smell of happiness was in the air. The snowman was the only one who wasn't enjoying these playful moments, for he was only a pile of snow that was put together, to look like a human. One night, two days before Christmas, the nasty-looking gingerbread man crept into the children's playing field; he was carrying a torch."I will melt you, and make you part of the icy floor!" he whispered. He was once a jolly man, who was cursed by a witch, because of stealing her gingerbread. All his friends and family abandoned him, for he looked strange. Since then, he hated anyone or anything that resembled happiness or smile. “Tomorrow the children will have a different look on their faces….” he thought to himself. An evil smile formed on his face. As he stared to melt the snowman, Santa appeared out of nowhere, riding his flying reindeer that carried many gifts. “What are you doing my friend?” he asked gingerbread man. “I have brought you a gift. It is a wishing coin!” The gingerbread man was so touched, that he wished that that the snowman was alive, so that he could know how it felt to be alive. He then tossed the coin into the air. The snowman then gradually started to move, and utter words. Surprisingly, the gingerbread man turned into a human once more. The witch’s curse was broken by love. ************************************************************** The Christmas tree lighting was reflecting on a lake; children were sharing gifts, as they sang Carols; the elves were sprinkling magical stardust in the air – it was Christmas after all! It was beautiful to see a man, once a gingerbread man, dancing with the snowman!
