A good start with a nice poem, Tan Pratonix. You may like to read my poem, Love And Iust. Thank you.

I wish you'd submit some more poems, Tan. This is a delight to the ear. But are you telling me Santa doesn't exist? , I saw him last Xmas sprawled out under a lamp-post. Actually I think Todd got it right. This is serious humour and very well fashioned in a clever stanza form.

You must have deleted many of your poems Tan. To start afresh? Like most children, I thought Santa Claus was real and good, at first. But the truth had to dawn on me and I was not too disappointed. You are right-it is deception practised on naive children. I like the eight-line stanzas and eye-catching rhyming couplets too.
