Marty Owens Poet Rhyme

Children In the Snow

Children playing in the snow.
       Up and down the hills they go.
Grownups watching like a show.
       Knowing soon to church they'll go.
 
Jingling bells so loud and clear.
       Ring so loud they wake the deer.
Santa's coming soon they know.
       In his sleigh across the snow.
 
Now get ready kids to go.
       Bed is waiting as you know.
 
Optional Ending:
 
Tired and weary, cold and numb.
       Visions dance like Sugarplums.


Thanks to Deborah Guzzi for suggesting the last line
  
This is sung to the tune of "Hark the Herald Angels Sing"
For the contest Holiday Songs in Poem Form by Deborah Guzzi

I like both ending lines... u could include one within the poem itself and use the other for an ending.. then u would have the best of both to make your poem more enjoyable.. I luv it just the way u originally wrote it... luv.. Linda-Marie, "Sweetheart" of Poetry Soup

Carolyn Devonshire December 3, 2009 at 6:33 AM Delightful read, Marty! Jingling bells, sleighrides and children enjoying the snow are the ways I remember winter growing up in New Jersey. I'll be back there this holiday and hope to see the sites you describe so vividly. This truly captures the spirit, Marty, and I think it's a great entry for Deborah's contest; I reread it while singing along - good rhythm. Good luck! Love, Carolyn
