Great job using the rictameter format to tell the Christmas story! I like that you use the doctrinal statement "Human and God" and focus on His attribute as "the Light." Glad you will get to spend time with your granddaughter!

Hi there;
Please excuse the 'cut and paste' acknowledgment of your review. I'm taking a short break from Christmas preparation and packing for my move, so my time is somewhat limited.

Thank you so much for reading my work. I appreciate your time to critique and review.

May you and yours have a wonderful holiday season. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Hi Patty, a lovely Chrismas poem, and I liked you've written it in Rictameter poem form. It's a great reflection of what Christmas is all about. All the best. Ulla:)))

Hi, mustang patty, I interrupted my grieving over Navy's loss to enjoy your poem. Very nice to read, nicely laid out and a Christmas Card style reminder of the reason for the season. Good luck and Merry Christmas!

Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. I'm sorry about the Navy's loss.

Of course as an Army veteran...

With so much commercialism battering us at this time of the year, the real reason for the season is often obscured. Your beautifully presented poem is a breath of fresh air.

very lovely form/style
a beautifully written piece
the presentation is really nice
"His mother placed Him in swaddling
In a manger, He lay
Human and God
The light"
these lines are almost magical and takes the reader right into the stable/barn where Mary was with her son
blessings
have a smiley day

How coincidental is this? When my children were young we did the same thing.
This is, as always, nicely written and powerful verbiage.
Blessings,
