Andrea Dietrich Poet Verse

One Christmas Morn

We awoke
to a bleak Christmas day.
Fog had stolen the magic away.
Dawn was broken and could not rise up to greet us.
Still we sang out joyfully with gratitude to the heavens.
Our song was heard, the fog lifted, and morning’s enchantment poured down golden.

(Theme #1: Cat Steven's "Morning Has Broken")

Maurice Yvonne December 24, 2014 at 7:47 PM Oh my goodness, go figure, poem of the day. Congratulations on having the poem of the day Christmas Eve Day! The best poet I know. I only wish I were aloud to fav this again. I am sure many poets will fav this very special poem on this very special day. You are blessed! Maurice Yvonne December 30, 2014 at 11:57 AM The word is not spelled 'aloud' it is spelled allowed. IPad self corrects if you get one letter wrong it throws in its own assumption. That's my story and I am sticking to it.

Sneha Rv December 24, 2014 at 9:01 AM Wow! Amazing! I thought writing lines with so many syllables would be more like prose than poetry - But I thought wrong!
