Magical Night Poem by Vera Sidhwa

The Christmas Sleigh


The reindeer pulled the sleigh along
Around a dark precipice.
It never landed on the ground.
It flew through the heavens all around.

A child sited this through his plane window
And asked his mom what that was.
His mom answered that was Christmas magic
Of a reindeer trying to reach Santa Claus.

The boy decided to play catch up
Because the plane lagged behind.
But the reindeer had magical powers
So it sped along.

I expected the reindeer to win the race
Because it on a faster pace
And the airplane could not catch up
Because it was Christmas night.
