Christmas Time Again

by Jenni Marie   Oct 18, 2006


Next to the mantel piece
stands the brightly lit tree
This is the time of year
where everyone is happy and free.

Holly and mistletoe
Hang around the room
At this time of year
There is no time for gloom.

Snow has fallen
on the floor outside
Parents are busy sending the presents
to Santa Claus to hide.

Preparations are made
as to where the dinner will be had
And all the family
are gloom free and glad.

When the morning arrives
the kids are up early out of bed
And by the time dinner arrives
everyone is hungry and ready to be fed.

Snowflakes melt against the window pane
Casting a peaceful glow
And by the time night arrives
the kids are falling asleep on the floor.

They are taken up to bed
and the parents finish off their wine
Everyone is happy and content
for it is Christmas time.

**Please comment, but don't be too harsh, this is my first poem where i have deliberately tried to put a lot of imagery in.**

    I think it was a very nice Christmas poem! Very vivid imagery.
    My favourite part is:
    "Snowflakes melt against the window pane
    Casting a peaceful glow"
    it makes a nice view ^^

    I think you did a great job by this being your first poem you have every tried to use Imagery in. I think that the flow was well and you painted a perfect picture too. I only had a problem with the second stanza:

    Snow has fallen
    on the floor outside
    Parents are busy sending the presents
    to Santa Claus to hide.

    I think that this stanza should be changed to:

    Snow has fallen
    On earths floor outside
    Parents are busy wrapping presents
    So from the children they can hide.

    It's just a suggestion anyway. Great job! 5/5

    Keep up the great work
