Some interesting prompts over at Mindscapes Thought I would do something a little different on the Christmas themes.

As darkness falls and blankets pulled
up tight around your ears
across the town the crunch of boots
on snow and darkest fears
Door handles rattled, windows checked
Through letter box he peeps
Wild eyes, sharp teeth and fingers gnarled
As you pretend to sleep
He knows, he sees, he understands
Just how you have behaved
He watches day and night and follows
From the cradle to the grave
And should he know, perhaps suspect
You’ve not done as you should
Onto your roof he clambers
All because you’ve not been good
And down your chimney he will slip
When fast asleep you dream
And whisk you off to darkest lair
Where no one hears you scream
