Tell

The Moon

Your Secrets

As you prepare

The offerings of milk

And freshly-baked cookies

Setting them on a special table

Beside the cut evergreen tree that

Brightens the room with lights and baubles

As you impatiently wait for the man who promises

To bring gifts to all the good little children around the world

By slithering down the chimney in the dead of night on Christmas Eve

Which is tonight, so you hurry and get to bed in hopes that he will come earlier

And fulfill your wishes

Beneath the 

Christmas tree

Erynn Crittenden

Erynn Crittenden has written poetry since she could hold a pen. This love prompted her to earn a BA in Creative Writing, where she learned how to experiment with syllables and styles. Since then, Erynn has self-published three poetry collections (By the Bones, Transfiguration, and Into the Western Sky) through Amazon. She also writes and publishes plenty of individual poems on her website, and her work has appeared in the Talon Literary Magazine, the Beautiful Poetry anthology by Silent Sparks Press, the #AmWriting anthology by the Wayne Foundation, and Life Blood: A Collection of Vampire Tales by Gary Hill. Erynn is also the creator and host of the Present Poetry Podcast, where she reads and celebrates a different poet every week.
