Jenna Logan Poet Villanelle

Ho Ho Hos and Halls of Holly

Christmas is the season to be jolly
The holiday brings merriment and joys
With ho ho ho's and halls decked with holly

There's mistletoe and pine of loblolly
Santa has many elves that he employs
Christmas is the season to be jolly

He got letters from Andrew and Polly
Reading them is a task Santa enjoys
With ho ho ho's and halls decked with holly

Polly asked Santa for a sweet dolly
One calling, "Mama," in baby noise
Christmas is the season to be jolly

One elf got silly, ending in folly
Santa forgave him for the broken toys
With ho ho ho's and halls decked with holly

A boy name Ollie, wanted a collie
The perfect present for good little boys
Christmas is the season to be jolly
With ho ho ho's and halls decked with holly

I actually read it aloud to myself to be sure it sounded ok. Thanks for the kind thoughts and for liking these lines.
