Hello Tom. You captured Christmas Eve in a beautiful and meaningful way. Christmas Eve was always a holiday as well gathering at midnight mass meeting up with family and friends. It was a two day celebration that lasted all week until New Years Day. Thank you for sharing your poetic talent not to mention the most fitting photo that you attached. Happy Holiday season to you and your family. Blessings always.

Thank you very much Lisa, it's a very special time, coming together with family and friends to celebrate the true meaning of christmas. Tom

Thank you very much Mike, found it quite a challenge only being able to use one word. Hope you too have a great weekend. Tom

Wonderfully written. Makes perfect sense. With just one word in a line, it cannot be better expressed. All the best Tom.

Tom Cunningham

December 8, 2022 at 12:13 AM

Thank you very much Valsa, had to keep changing as my first attempt looked like a list. Perseverance paid off. Tom

Peace and joy exudes throughout in this festive poem, Tom. You certainly rose to the challenge.

Tom Cunningham

December 8, 2022 at 12:11 AM

Thank you very much Vijay, it was challenging only being able to use one word per line. Tom

Crikey, Mr Mayor, that actually makes sense. All I managed was gobbledygook. Might have another go but me thinks me sees a winner! Terry

Tom Cunningham

December 7, 2022 at 3:36 PM

Thank you Terry, you wouldnt believe how many times I changed it, I nearly gave up as first attempt was a list of words lol. Tom

Cleverly Written Tom. A very enjoyable read.

Thank you very much Wendy, I'm pleased that you enjoyed it. Found it a challenge only being allowed one word. Tom

Christmas greetings as if they were written in a card instead of in a one word per letter Acrostic. Fine writing, Tom.

Jenna Logan

You're braver than I to even attempt using the bold feature on a phone. I had 33 lines in my entry and that was quite a task.

Tom Cunningham

December 7, 2022 at 2:24 PM

Thank you very much Jenna, hope it makes sense, he certainly threw down the gauntlet with this one, then again us Soup Creek folk like a challenge, had to delete it twice because bits were bold grrrr, should have done it on the comp instead of my phone, I would have seen the mistakes. Tom
