Michelle Faulkner Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

My hubby's name is David, so in our house he becomes 'Santa Dave' since he works so hard to make the season special for all of us! 

Here Comes Santa-Dave

Here comes Santa-Dave, here comes Santa-Dave
Decorating our front door
Poinsettias dressed in garland yards
Red and green galore
White lights shining through holly clusters
A sprinkling of Yuletide luster
Our front porch, a holiday card!

Here comes Santa-Dave, here comes Santa-Dave
Putting up the tree
Silver tinsel draped ornaments
In festive finery
Heirloom angel in cloth and lace
Lending us tradition's grace
Glittering in merry vestments

Santa-Dave knows what we crave
Rumballs and gingerbread his Christmas art
Baked in sugary snowflake surprises
And growing his wife's grinchy heart...
By three sizes

John Watt January 3, 2022 at 5:16 PM Very delightful to read of your obvious affection for your husband. His Christmas talents are clearly worthy of celebrating in poetry. It's hard to believe you have a grinchy heart, but I loved the Dr. Seuss reference and the admiration you have for David. I particularly enjoyed "Our front porch, a holiday card!" as well as your creative rhyme scheme on the first two stanzas. Thanks for recommending this!
