Contest Description
What to Submit?
You're an elf who is lost, wandering the streets, searching for a way back to the North Pole. You've been separated somehow from santa, the reindeers, and the rest of the gang.
You start to sing a mournful song describing what happened. A villager is so moved by your words that he comes out and brings you into this hut. He eventually helps you locate Santa.
The writing prompt is, what sorrowful Christmas song does the villager here you sing down the dark snowy streets? This is the poem you write.
