This is my third Pantoum and I think, by Jove I've got it. This is well done and it reads well too. I didn't see any spelling or grammatical errors. A nice poem all around.

I'm not religious person but i have to say this one was touching. It felt like souls were failing, in need qnd searching for something hopeful and at end you it together. Plus it was instep with Christmas season.

This is a beautifully crafted pantoum which holds together with a smooth flow of ideas. Your clever use of homonyms to shift the meaning towards Christmas in your final line is clever. Good luck in the contest!

Being really fixated on free-verse poetry, I have honestly never even heard of a plantoum. However, I enjoyed this because it opened my eyes to a new form of poetry. You also nailed it with your powerful message. Beautifully composed.

"A Golden Dawn" is truly beautiful and follows the Pantoum format perfectly. You have captured the real meaning of Christmas. This is an excellent contest entry.
