Words to use: ambrosia, Q-tip, charcoal, impossible
Forbidden words: Santa Claus, workshop,
Additional parameters: Be descriptive! Do not repeat any words. Min 20 lines



Rules

Child eyes necessary elsewise impossible:
viewing requires innocence.
(Clause three; paragraph five)

Remote hollow beneath Mount Belief,
Peak(ing) forbidden.
No signs give directions:
must know correct path
or get lost in Naughty Pass.

Ambrosia-scented side-tracks distract
from course. Snow layers pines,
white-blue decorations by Q-tip
bearing eleven painters.

Leave to go forward,
fall up at dawn's dusk.
There! Did you blink?
Charcoal hearts refused.
(Page One; Bold Print)

Maybe next year.

Cannot divulge.
I took an oath--
(Codicil eight, signed, witnessed, notarized)
