Glorious Christmas

Glorious Christmas (Count up) Night Of night Beaming bright With heavens glow Starlight love does flow All the church bells ringing Angel choir joyful singing It’s Christmas glorious Christmas Rejoice and celebrate Jesus birth This holy night there shall be peace on earth Count up This titled form, consists of exactly ten lines, the first line having one syllable, each succeeding line adding a syllable, with a total count of fifty-five syllables. This form allows both rhyme and meter, while its similar cousin, the ETHEREE, allows neither. There is only one stanza with this one.[/left]
