Notes About The Poem

 

 

December 16, 2023

"Nursery Rhymes or Stories" Poetry Contest

Sponsor: Eve Roper

FIRST  PLACE

Holiday Spirit

A city of festivities glitter bright
To celebrate a special joyful night,
Gingerbread man boogies with delight,
Snowmen waltz, what a charming sight!

He is decorated with a galore of candy,
Friends excited to find those sweets handy,
Reason to be gratefully elated and happy
As incredibly thankful as they could ever be!

The city looks enchanting with softest snow,
Silvery laces on rooftops magically glow,
Holiday season for all fairy tale souls,
Be merry, celebrate the night at North Pole.

Dear Valsa, I am not an expert - still I feel so delighted and honoured with your comment. I taught little children for a few years, and really enjoyed it. The best part of my job was reading poems and stories to the little ones. Hope you are having a great holiday! A Happy New Year to you and all your loved ones.
