Exceptional a contemplative hex sonnetta Rejoice: Christmas Poetry : Good Will Toward Men by adewpearl

When Christmastide draws near a spirit fills the air -- the world's a love affair as kindly acts appear that fill our hearts with cheer as people freely share. But then the new year comes when worries fill our days, our lives a hectic haze where kindness soon succumbs. We haven't even crumbs to ease the poor's malaise. Please ask that God forgive when good will is outlived. Recognized Author Notes I want to thank Cheyennewy for posting a hex sonnetta that inspired me to try my hand at this form. The poem consists of two six line verses and a couplet. All lines are six syllables long in iambic meter. The rhyme scheme is ABBAAB CDDCCD EE. The first verse sets the theme while the second verse changes the tone or adds some new aspect to the theme, and the couplet either sums things up or offers some resolution.
