Most Beautiful Christmas Poem

(I wonder why I can't enter this poem in the contest. It is not figuring in the list of poems. Can anyone help me, please..... Has this happened to anybody before) The naked hills are clad in snow Blurring the houses that line up in a row The wind that blows is icy chill Freezing cold is the water of the rill Trees stand stripped and bare But so much gaiety is in the air Lightings from all houses shine Sending out a radiance divine Christmas trees stand finely decorated Cribs are colourfully illuminated The day comes when Christ was born In our midst as the greatest boon He came not in glory arrayed But in a poor man’s rags clad Took birth not in a palace of gold But in a deserted manger of old Poor shepherds were the sole witness They beheld his radiant face in stillness The whole world is under his magic sway As love for all is his wondrous way Jesus came down from Heaven on Earth To offer the world its true mirth To dole out the priceless treasure of peace To see all bitterness and enmity cease Merry ditties will echo from every street Children will sing Christmas carols sweet From angelic band will rise the lovely refrain “Peace on Earth and goodwill to men” Nov.20. 2022 ~Placed Eight~ Most Beautiful Christmas Poem Contest Sponsor – Mystic Rose Rose

If there was a line limit, you would have to shorten this, but sorry you can't even enter it?? is it a problem with running out of time? Sometimes I try to enter a contest and the little icon keeps going in circles and times out. Finally it stopped doing that. Sometimes if you click on 'forms" you can find your poems more easily in case you are not seeing your entry when you try to enter??

There has been no line limit, Andrea. It was some technical hitch. When I posted this a second time, I could enter it in the contest. Thanks sweet friend for all your kind suggestions .

Merry Christmas, I wonder if that's allowed now, so many have found this offensive, happy holidays is the new norm. Bless you for shinning His love through you, love the poem

You captured Christmas well in this well written verse Valsa. Try closing all your pages and click refresh or just restart your computer. Hopefully your poem will appear then. Tom
