Notes About The Poem

Santa's Appearance

Santa's Appearance

It’s that time of year for Santa to appear
After Easter searches and Halloween candy.
The clocks tick-tock as hearts beat rapidly
In PJs tucked under the sheets, trying to sleep.

Children lie and hope as eyelids grow heavy
(With their ears attentive to hear reindeer prancing)
The world over; peacefully on the eve, in dreams,
They dream of opening presents on Christmas morning.

Quietly, Santa enters the house unknown,
Dressed in a red suit with whiskers white as snow.
From a sack of toys, he pulls out Christmas joy
To put under the tree for girls and boys.

Then, with a quick wink before anyone knows,
He’s up on the rooftop (rosy cheeks and nose),
And jumps into his sled, and off he goes.
With a belly full of chuckles, “HO! HO! HO!”
