The arctic air is dry and cold
and o'er my head, Polaris, bold. My team of dogs is primed to go,. He's smile at me, or so I'm told. We travel over drifts of snow, a muted white in moonlight's glow. I sense his fireplace, warmth and cheer, a spot of snapps, then steaming joe. Oh yes, I smell that smoke from here. his shop behind this hill, so near. I'll grasp and clasp his beard and jaws, and he'll present his eight reindeer. I once did doubt, my faith had flaws. To say his name might bring guffaws. But I believe without a pause. Why my applause? He's Santa Claus! ·······  ······· |

Oh what a wonderful way to bring a frosty eve to a close! I can see you sitting in front of a crackling fire with Santa... just talking away as though you'd known each other forever! LOL
Most enjoyable~ Cathy

Dear Cat,
This is one of my favorite seasonal pieces. I started to para a Frost piece but have deviated far from his message. Yet I like Frost's rhyme scheme tremendously and there was some wry to the ending. (I suspect Santa may add some rye to the joe, too.) Dear Ivor, No room for skepticism now. I know there's a Santa as he sure costs lots of money come Christmas. A cheery Christmas to all. God bless us, ev'ry one! Ron jgd ······· ······· |

If anyone can do a take-off on a Frost piece, you can, Ron! You see a theme that fits, and ya jest schnapps to it!
Lightly, Daniel
