Unwrap

Hello Poets. It has been a while and I hope everybody had a great rest of their summer. But now that we're all back in school and ready to set off another fun year, I thought I'd share a poem with you about Christmas.

The title is called "Unwrap." The inspiration obviously came from one Christmas when I finally got my hands on an all-new Playstation One console. Hope you enjoy the poem!


Unwrap

It sat under the Christmas tree one morning
I woke up from sleep and wiped my eyes
I couldn't believe what I saw
A very thoroughly wrapped gift

I waited for my parents to wake up
As they came out, they smiled
'Merry Christmas!' they said
I giggled, not knowing what else to do

They told me I could start unwrapping
At first I wanted to rip it apart.
Then I went against it and not ripped it
Instead I made every edge special

I did unwrap it slowly
Every ribbon and every piece of paper
It was all taken care of
So that every little inch can be special

Finally, the paper was unwrapped
The gift laid at my lap, also glistening and bright
I turned my head to the paper
And said, 'Thank you for a glorious sight.'
