In the forest where the trees glow, Shimmering stars shine, a stunning show. Mesmerizing marvels in an idyllic, calm flow, Cheerful gifts gathered gently in a row. Blanketed children in wonder and cheer, Gingerbread cookies, sweet flavors near. Iced in crimson, green, festive atmosphere, Sprinkles of joy as Santa draws near. A sleigh with bells that jingle and run, We gather as families, our hearts are full of fun. Celebrating traditions, our spirits as one, In the warmth of the holiday, we bask in the sun. Shimmering ivory pearls in moonbeams, Gentle lullabies that soothe all our dreams Chalked memories drift in a crystalline stream, In hopes that our love will forever gleam. Though jaded vials may drip with despair, We find elixirs of hope in the air. Sick veins may quiver, dreams still ensnare, As impending fate reminds us we care.

You've done it again Soto, with your beautiful monorhyme. So soft, so euphoric, you have captured the essence of the Season. Your last stanza says it all . Even Negative is a Positive Gift' as we say in our household. The music is lovely too, my late Dad was the lead voiolinist in many international Orchestras, classical and contemporary, so I love music. He also taught many greats including the Conductor Zuben Metha. Merry Christmas to you and your family - Hugs Maria

Lasaad, this poem is exquisite, it has the fun, the flair and a touch of despair, but mostly and most importantly it portrays how Christmas for the young and the old is traditionally celebrated every year. Congratulations on your much deserved win my friend and I am sending you Christmas wises galore. blessings, Jennifer.
