Jolly Old St Nick

In a land adorned with tinsel and lights, Where merry hearts danced through winter nights, Christmas arrived, bringing laughter and cheer, A time when joy and humor drew near. Santa, the jolly old man dressed in red, With his chubby frame and a beard widespread, He squeezed through chimneys with utmost grace, Delivering gifts at a merry pace. Saint Nicholas, a legend from days of old, His stories of kindness and love were told, He touched hearts with gifts, both big and small, Spreading warmth and joy to one and all. Oh, the funny tales that Christmas brings, Of mishaps and blunders and silly things, Santa stuck in the chimney, oh what a sight, As he wiggled and jiggled to make things right. Children giggled as they watched his plight, His rosy cheeks turning even more bright, With a chuckle, he finally emerged free, Covered in soot, but still filled with glee. The gifts he left beneath the tree's glow, Wrapped with care and tied up in a bow, Brought laughter and excitement to each face, As they tore open presents with eager grace. For Christmas is a time of mirth and fun, Of spreading love and making memories spun, The laughter echoes, filling the air, As families gather, showing they care. So let us cherish this festive delight, Embrace the spirit, shining so bright, For in the laughter and joy we find, The true magic of Christmas, one of a kind.

I submitted this poem for the funny santa poem contest and I hope that it meets the standards. I am only 12 and I hope to be a poet when I'm older and some advice would be helpful for me so I know what I need to change or what needs to be better. Thanks for reading this message. :)

The only thing I struggle with is that you’re only twelve. With that in mind, I can only commend you on your writing ability and congratulate you on your win. By the way… you ARE a poet. Keep it up ;-)
