My poems: R is for reindeer

So I wanted to try a blackout poem, and picked The Night Before Christmas and reindeer. Not really a poem, but interesting lines. It didn't turn out as cool as I'd hoped but that's life. I used Xmas washi tape to do the blackout.

So it goes:

reindeer, a little moment it must be
eagles call'd them "Now! now! now "On! on! on dry the wild hurricane fly
in a twinkling, prancing and pawing A back, peddlar eyes--roses
nose a cherry
droll little stump held tight in teeth, And smoke
encircled a wreath shook laugh'd full of right
elf saw spite wink and twist
rose. sprung a whistle, a thistle: out of sight--and good night

That's a clever idea - and looks very pretty. I can see why you weren't entirely satisfied with it though.

Fascinating, very pretty…and it must be tempting to tweak the lines somewhat:-)
