Poem Title:
Poem
(Thank God, when I posted my poem a second time , I could enter it in the contest. But I am retaining my old post as I have many comments on it . I thank all my poet friends who helped me with suggestions, especially Mystic Rose Rose. My soupmail is non functional most of the time) 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 has come 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 shall echo from every street And children will sing Christmas carols sweet From the angelic band will rise the refrain “Peace on Earth and goodwill to all men” Nov.20. 2022 ~ Placed Eighth~ Most Beautiful Christmas Poem Contest Sponsor – Mystic Rose Rose
