Notes About The Poem

Contest: Snow Fantasy or Christmas Nostalgia. Sponsored by Constance La France. Written 12/13/25.  Theme # 1. Checked with syllablecounter.net.

A Snowy Adventure

I awoke from a nap to find it's now snowing 
It was clear and sunny before my nap
Now there seems to be a cold snap
As I look out and see the wind blowing

I can see a glow in the woods with some clearing
I hear some faint sounds of laughter and bells
Now dressed to go out, my curiosity swells
What I encounter is sweet and endearing

There is Santa singing in his sleigh full of toys
Elves are dancing, laughing while having a toast
While giving Santa a fun holiday roast
Playing and ringing bells like a bunch of schoolboys

They saw me, but were not surprised, as if they knew
To my surprise they knew my name
And asked me to join the fun, if I am game
Then said, "we have a gift for you."

Santa gave me a large red bowed box
Inside was a snow globe replica of my home
And to shake it when it's snowing and I'm alone
To join them again for fun, games and snow walks

Dear Tania, I loved how your poem turns a simple snowfall into a doorway to enchantment. The snow globe replica of home is a beautiful touch, making the magic feel both personal and timeless. Holiday Blessings, Dear Tania, Daniel

What a brilliant tale. When I was young, we had just finished a war and Santa was the least of my worries. Now I'm too old for Santa.
