JOYFUL


                                  JOYFUL

                                      Joy
                                 Surrounds
                                The manger
                          A star shines bright
                      Love spreads in the night
                            A peace celebration
                         Angels with admiration
           Fly with precious  birds, spreading word
                  To villages of houses, tree to tree

             Christmas lights fill windows, in the dark
                      Paths of harmony, light the way
                    Carols spread through the valleys
                      With snow capped peaks above
                                All frosted with love
                                    A carriage ride
                                 Leaves soft  tracks
                                          Jingling
                                              Joy

Awwn, this is a gorgeous nonet poem for the contest! The aura of Christmas is coming alive in the splendor of your saccharine words.. Weaving a blissful imagery in the reader's heart.. "Carols spread through the valleys", "jingling joy" You've beautifully captured the ambience of this festive season in these wonderful lines.. Best of luck for the contest :)

Dear Heidi, what a beautiful, serene picture of Christmas in this lovely poem of faith. It is so lyrical and celebratory all at the same time! There is such serenity like watching the world at Christmas time from a "carriage ride" - a Christmas witness. Thank you for this loveliness. Best wishes for the contest! Sending you continued prayers for healing and blessings for Christmas!
