If Santa was a writer...
What would he write about? Write a poem in his POV, then contrast it with another POV.
Valtunk in Poetry & Free Verse

LETTER FIRST

An elf

sophisticated, full of vigor

did instill in Santa art of write

in Elvish, Dwarvish and Human too

as he was

a Tolkien fan

Santa, now litterate more

more even his bones wanted

read, read and read

and heaps of posts

were him above

a crushing evelasting, neverending shadow.

Elf the Santa sought

how to survive the mountains nigh

children babble mostly

inelligeble wishes

whispering death to Santa

with their towering, never quiet height.

A fathers children helped unknown

a thought of brilliance long ago

so the printing pres, no factory was born

and elves started their busines at one go.

Soo no sleigh disturbed the winter sky

no white bearded possible thief disturbed the children sleep

no entity touched milk and cookies left.

All that was changed for all

with printed answer to the childhood

masses origin of mountaind dread

of written please for gifts.

Answer big and clear:

There is no Santa, parents your invented him.

Don't wait, don't ask, don't doubt.

Give a write of want direct to parents now

And never write again

You answer get will not.

There is no Santa and no Christmas is your parents weight to bear.

A letter to end letters all.

LETTER SECOND

Yao, waited for forbidden gifts

as yellow guards searched for their forbidden faith

and letter was

all

he got.

In the hovel,

where small

cut down spruce tree waited

straight as ramrod

he read the on of billion letter from the North.

And replaid, in tears

"If you dont exist, who wrote this.

If Christmas dont exist, why wrote this

My dreams died, but you live.

May your life drink only tears of children."

Santa, with letter almost none

among the elks and elves

is in peace

but the water funny is

all the time

taste

as

tears.
