This poem made me smile. What a great combination of sorrow and defiance. And, what lovely imagery: "Its thorn, with scorn punctured our psyche..."
Very clever the way you worked in "zoom" in the final stanza.

Thank you very much .I appreciate your review.
Comment from Suzanna Ray
Dear Sanku, I think we need not root out the virus, for it will eventually burn itself out. But your idea of spreading joy instead, is far more valuable than any medicine that could ever be invented.
Do not let your faith falter, And keep writing lovely poems like this one.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written Christmas poem about this Christmas that will be very different from any Christmas we ever had before. Despite the hardships we are facing we still have the Spirit of Christmas within our hearts.

Your words have meaning and strength in them. I like how you mention people will zoom and still celebrate the holidays. Excellent free verse form that gives encouragement and has meaning.

Comment from Susan X Smith
This is a sweet poem and an unusual "take" on the contest requirements. It is still a respectable entry with a nice picture to complement it. Good luck in the voting. Happy holidays.

This is a Very beautifully written free verse poem for the contest. Nicely done. A vicious virus is out to snatch the glitter out of our most sacred season. Hope and pray for s better 2021. Good luck in the contest.

Sanku.
You are correct that we as a world wide people will fight Covid 19 in any form that it arrives. The fact that the burgeoning pandemic is escalating at this time- will not dampen the strength of spirit of humanity. It can not or humanity is lost.
I count on the faith- the many faiths all around this globe- to come together around their own tables and join their prayers as one. No power or virus on earth can stop that!
Thank you for writing and sharing "We will Fight" with us.

Very well said. This virus has been bad, all over the world. But the spirit of Christmas will still prevail. We have our families and together we will celebrate the birthday of our Lord and Saviour.

Some lovely near rhyme and double meanings in this. Enjoy your zooming in this Christmas and put the mean and evil virus behind you for this season of goodwill.
