The Elves Snow Party
Away up north where it’s snowing they say
the elves are preparing for Christmas day.
Big elves little elves, busier than bees
All building toys, for under Christmas trees.

Some work with hammers others building bikes,
some riding through the room on brand new trikes.
Tiny elf voices ringing loud and...

Premium Member Elves On Strike
Santa was in his sleigh waiting to go
But the elf loading team was a no show
A strike had been called
Santa was appalled
The elves taunted him saying ho ho ho...

Santa muttered and swore under his breath
Warned the strikers they ain't seen nothing yet
Called his friend Bill...

Rhyming Wave Poem - Santa's Busy Elves
Christmas soon, very busy Elves,
the busy, busy, busy Elves,
all packing presents from the shelves,
all packing, each one tagged.

All checked, addressed then safely bagged,
then safely, safely, safely bagged,
the sleigh now loaded, warmly lagged,
the sleigh, its lagging gay.

Christmas eve, Santa on his way.
Yes! On his, on his,...

The Last March of the Elves
I’ll tell you a story you won’t forget
Of deeds of valor and fame
Of battles won and forces met
While distant seekers watch with fear
And armies flee in shame

What news travels home on the wings of birds
Of loved ones gone out to war
And of enemy horses spurred
Great...

CHRISTMAS ELVES

Come listen to a tale of lessons learned.
How I now cringe remembering when  I
Reached up and touched a red-clad elf and turned
Idyllic moments to a time to cry!
Such ignorance! My grandson told me that
To touch an elf will break the magic spell.
My pleas...

A Fling With the Elves
She was having a fling with the elves
     She would catch them alone by themselves  
Then behind Santa’s back
She would hit the old sack
     She was lining them up by the twelves...

Santa's Elves
Santa’s Elves

At twelve the "ELVES” helped SANTA CLAUS.
They packed wrapped TOYS in their new SLED.
Thick snow draped WINTER FAIRY LAND.
The view from Heaven was quite grand.
New snowmen popped up everywhere.
But only Frosty came to life.
Loud laughter filled home’s warmth inside.
FROSTY THE SNOW MAN danced outside.
Young...

The Elves Christmas Partzzz
The night before Christmas, the hour quite late,
The elves were excited, they couldn’t wait,
they were almost done loading Santa’s big sleigh,
Christmas Eve was indeed, their busiest day.

They stood on the runway waving goodbye,
watching reindeer guide the sleigh through the sky,
the elves Christmas party was in...

Fairies, Dwarfs, and Elves
In the land of make believe
The little fairies dwell
You may remember Peter Pan
Had his Tinkerbell

And who can forget Snow White
Who had seven dwarfs for friends
Hi Ho, Hi Ho, off to work they'd go
You know how the story ends

Fairies, Dwarfs,  it's up to you
You can...

Sonnet 35 'The Happy Lark Sings Dulcet Resurrection'
The happy lark sings dulcet Resurrection!
His silver strands, like notes, weave pearly cloth,
Abide no warring, strife or misdirection;
The Little Folk come softly to the wroth,
And make them glad and wakeful in new Sun.
Elves almost show themselves, then whirl away!
They cannot stop their mischief, for the...

A play performed on mind-screen;
Manifesting miracles;

The Santa Shuffle
Santa’s helpers, take a break
From the toys they like to make
And just for love and pure funs sake
They dance the Santa Shuffle

Rudolph with his nose so bright
Likes to dance all through the night
A reindeer dancing’s a funny sight
While doing the Santa Shuffle.

Frosty Snowman comes to...
