Christmas poetry competition 2023

Tail wagging wildly, and joy unrestrained, As the raccoon, had too, a surprise to be explained.

A trinket so shiny, a bauble so small, But in the raccoon's paws, a treasure to enthral.

The dog's nose twitched with clear curiosity, A reciprocal gesture, a bond in their unity.

On this Christmas night, a lesson is so clear, That our friendships transcend fear, and spread joy far and near.

In the language of friendship, no words had been said, Just the joyous exchange of their gifts instead.

In a world diverse, where differences gleam, The dog and raccoon share a festive dream.

A heart-warming tale, beneath the Christmas moon's soft light, Proving that we can all be friends, no matter our sight.
