From a snow-covered forest, coniferous
Dashes one who's quite clearly doniferous
He can make a child's day
At the sight of his sleigh
This rotund, jolly elf, quite vociferous

Author Notes
Today's word: doniferous (adj.) carrying a gift.
One week to go...
My much-treasured Christmas present for 2017 is a book by Paul Anthony Jones: "The cabinet of linguistic curiosities". Each page contains a descriptive story about some obscure or archaic word. It occurred to me it would be a fun exercise to try and write, each day, a poem featuring the "word of the day" from the book.
Thanks for reading.
