Santa, I've Been Nice

Whiteness falling, whirling, white swift volley
In the crisp hushed winter's cold bite degree.
Nipping flakes; light-dark night body lolly.

Gathers on glass pane quite liberally.
Dusk begins to wane, relaxing white sea.
Whiteness falling, whirling, white swift volley.

I wake up with the halls deck with holly.
Daze, dash down the halls, dive under the tree.
Nipping flakes; light-dark night body lolly.

Filled with light, I'm in heaven most jolly.
I cheer on one knee, "Christmas gifts for me!"
Whiteness falling, whirling, white swift volley.

The dawn brought new-fallen snow. Oh! Golly!
Outside world cloak in white glitter to see.
Nipping flakes; light-dark night body lolly.

Hope Santa knows I've been nice, wishfully.
There wouldn't be a single toy; yes siree. 
Whiteness falling, whirling, white swift volley,
Nipping flakes; light-dark night body lolly.

Hi Eve. Now I learn about music in poetry. I can hear the Christmas song as I read your lovely villanelle. All the best, Tony

Rama, check into it, sounds good. Breathing exercise is always good for your lungs and bring air to your body. Thank you, I am doing much better, still have a ways to go. Hugs Eve
