Standing Beneath The Mistletoe

Fan art of Superman and Wonder Woman done for a Christmas fan challenge.

Those lines are from a Christmas poem written by an Unknown poet. I found it so lovely, and inspiring.


The Christmas festivities
Have begun once again
With carols and lights
good food and champagne
The best part of all
His dream girl is here
He stands near the fireplace
Beneath the mistletoe

His heart starts to pound
He’s nervous at best
He has waited for this moment
butterflies in his chest
He scans the room
his eyes aglow?
And hopes she won’t notice
he’s standing beneath the mistletoe

Laughter and giggles and
joyful noises surround
The moment is perfect
to share with the girl he found
His eyes meet hers
Across the room
Do you think she knows
he’s hanging around the mistletoe?

The crowd begins to gather
around the majestic tree
but tonight he would rather
her angelic face to see
He closes his eyes
and takes it slow
This Christmas night
beneath the mistletoe

This Christmas he only
has one wish
to kiss the lady
in the dreamy white dress
he opens his eyes
to find he’s not alone
To his surprise
she standing beneath the mistletoe

She smiles at him
and asks him his name
and then looks up
she knows his game
she puckers up
and kisses him gently
and says do you know
we’re standing under the mistletoe


I imagine it is the JLA headquarters and Superman is looking at his dream girl, Wonder Woman.
