Christmas Bells

I woke to such a mighty peal
And asked the vicar: “ What’s the deal?
I think it’s best
To let me rest.
With PEACE on earth, goodwill to men!”

*Inspired by  Christmas Bells by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
for Deb's contest

But where is the goodwill? Wish those bells could instill the feeling. Nice verse Jack.

Reads like a winner..I like the rhythm and rhyme of this one..Good luck in the contest..Thanks for stopping by, my mother read nursery rhymes to me and quoted many from memory both her and my father..My brother who lived at home would read me the comic strip in the paper..Sara

I LIKE IT!! GREAT way to do her contest, Jack. I added to my snow poem. Decided to put a beginning to it since I felt the original already felt like an "ending."
