Best Sleigh Poems

I dream of riding in a sleigh through falling snow
Moving in the shine of colorful lights that glow
I can hear the caroling of songs on my way
It is a beautiful season and I now pray

Moving in the shine of colorful lights that glow
Candles light windows...

Strong sleigh is needed to carry the peace,
a light candle is burning,
blow it out with a wish....

The sleigh bells jingle merrily across the horses backs,
The snowflakes fall around us, filling the horses tracks;

The silver silence broken by boisterous Christmas songs,
Midnight chimes on the clock over head but we’re still going strong;

The whiskey warms our insides as we pass the bottle around,
Aside...

Pushing back the snow,
the barn door slowly opens
against the drifts.

Inside smells are rich and warm.
Hay and straw and animals mix 
sparking memories of a long ago stable. 

The tarp is heavy,
but uncovers a shiny red sleigh.
Runners honed to a keen shushing edge.

Sounding of hooves on...

Christmas finds reindeer landing on rooftops

Santa’s kindly added some extra stops

     His sleigh filled with travelers

     Scared of TSA handlers

Scoff as coal through government chimneys drops

Sleigh Bells 

Those who believe are hearing
Santa’s sleigh bells nearing

Jingling bells are ringing                            ...

There was a young sleigh bell named Tingle
She loved to ring and to jingle
She shined herself bright
'Cause on Christmas Eve night
She'll be on the sled of Kris Kringle....

We're singing the song of the sleigh 
As Santa gets his underway. 
The bells are a-jingle, 
Our tummies a-tingle, 
SO SHOUT OUT FOR THIS XMAS DAY!...

Santa’s loaded sleigh,
Streaking past the Christmas moon;
Dodges bats and drones.

Mildest autumn on record up here
What will become of us in future years
Will we all melt away
No more rides on a sleigh
Just a horse and buggy, no muffs on our ears

GUIDING SANTA’S SLEIGH

An inventor elf named Alvin
was celebrating the day,
he finished his invention,
a motor for the sleigh.

No need to sweep the runway
or have to use the plow,
with no reindeer feet, Santa could 
just push a button now.

Santa was excited,
especially when told,
it would cut his time...

The Jingle of sleigh bells, herald
His coming on Christmas Eve
When Santa Claus takes the time
To fill our stocking and I believe
That Santa Claus thinks sincerely 
It’s better to give than to receive...

Bundled in a horse-drawn sleigh  
warm and snug on Thanksgiving Day
the children restless, we went on our way
as the shedding forest began to sway
and the gusts of wind set astray
the vestiges of autumn's display
that unveiled the cabins along the bay
 
Past weathered barns fraught...

Through gossamer skies so low

And over the blue glass sea below

Peppermint stops

Ginger schnapps

Eight Reindeer hops

His jelly belly skips

over belted hips


Dashing through the snow and sleet

All night he rides

Weary, dreary

Down the chimney he slides

No sleigh ride's complete

Without milk and cookies to eat...

A brilliant moon casts its mellow glow,
O'er fields covered with glistening snow!

Skeins of geese fly on high silhouetted 'gainst the moon;
The scene is all set for a sleigh ride, so very opportune!

The sleigh has been shed of a years build-up of dust,
And its runners have...
