Winter Poems from the 2012 “Merry Christmas Poems and Tales”
By
Gypsy Joy.
There once was a deer
In a forest nearby
Who felt pretty lonely
And longed for a bit of cheer.
By moonlight he tiptoed
Softly
Nibling and stepping slowly
Till he reached a castle’s moat.
Standing still in wonder
Admiring the moonlit castle
He played the bells on his tassle
Which made the castle Lord ponder.
Did he hear a deer’s bell
Softly ringing
Or was it the tingling
Of an icy snowflake that fell?
The castle lord rubbed his eye
And yelled lonely me
Is it true do I see
A handsome buck passing by?
Lower the bridge dear Knight
I have a deer to greet
Come with me and meet
Our visitor by moonlight.
It did not take very long
Before they were joined by a sweet doe
Feeling now no longer alone
The four celebrated singing a merry moon song.
