I will be the first to admit, I have problems writing about Nature, Animals and pretty soft whimsical things. I write of loss, love, depression and such intensely deep emo type things. So here's an attempt:
__________________________
I thought I heard a strange sound
so I went outside to look around
The air was cold yet crisp and clean
I like the refreshing feel that the
winter brings.
--
The ground was covered in crystal shards
all throughout my street and yard.
The trees they glisten in the night
I took a big breath in and it gave
me a sense that everything in my
life would be alright.
--
There it was, that sound again,
I heard it and it was like a faint
jingle and like a silly little girl
I found myself hoping that it would be
Santa aka Kris Kringle.
--
I walked all the way around the house
but I saw nothing at all, just a roof
and 4 walls. I was getting cold so
I went back inside and when I did
I was suddenly shocked and surprised!
--
There were presents by my tree and
on the table cookies and milk and
I admit for a minute I felt some
guilt. It should have been me leaving
Santa a snack, I wondered how I could
ever pay him back.
--
Then all of sudden I heard a faint whisper
in the night saying, "Merry Christmas,
don't worry, this year you did alright!"

Nice story for this night!! And "don't worry, you did alright!"💝
Hey Sam, are you on the Discord app that Vocal uses? If yes, can you find me and friend me. It’s a great way to collaborate and share story ideas.
Very nice Sam. Whimsical and sweet. Just need to decide whether or not you are going freestyle or following a rhyming scheme. This kind of fell into,both and it was a bit jarring. Keep up,the muscle flexing. Your stories are great. 🤗
You did an excellent job - Well Done!!!
It's always a wonderful feat to stretch ourselves in writing. You did a great job flexing your soft, whimsical side. My favorite lines were "The ground was covered in crystal shards / all throughout my street and yard."
This is so wonderful! You did an amazing job capturing the joyfulness of the season.
