Santa's Coming!

 A poem by Mediana Stan, illustrated by Liviu Boar, translated by Rafael Manory

Santa's coming, Santa's coming
On his way with sounds of drumming. 
Stars burn to ashes in his sight
And from the ashes re-ignite
Shining in black-silver light!


The old man his s’eigh has stopped,
To the angels he then talked:
- Stop throwing stars in my trail
And comets with heavy tails
My big rabbit, the friendly bloke
Is scared of too much smoke....


But a curly-haired angel still
A cartload of stars caused to spill...
The Rabbit with c’osed eyes,
Pulls the s’eigh through the skies
And on his silvered, secret way
Stars ignite and burn away....
