A Call to all Poets

Last year readers were offered the chance add another verse to that old favourite I'm dreaming of aWhite Christmas, with the chance of having it premiered at the Village Hall Carol Singing.

No-one took up the offer.

This is sad because we have some very fine poets such as Chris Carrington, Ophir Catling, Hilary Sage, Caroline Matheson amongst others.

Maybe even some from the School.

There is still time before the 19th December so sharpen up your pencil stubs and make a name.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

Just like the ones I used to know

Where the treetops glisten

And children listen

To hear sleigh bells in the snow.

 

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

With every Christmas card I write

May your days be merry and bright

And may all our Christmases be white.
