Comment from Nora Helmer

Good

This is a nice poem, but I don't exactly see how the alphabet relates to Christmas. It seems a little random. Otherwise, great writing. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for reviewing, Nora. The alphabet really doesn't relate to much of anything other than the act of writing, and yet alphabet books have been a huge part of our culture for many years. Brooke

Comment from ROBbury

Excellent

My hat's off to the poet. I think this would be tough to write - using every letter in the alphabet around one theme. Not sure if I could.

Very clever!

This is another superb offering at your hand. I daresay you'll get flack for the "X" factor, but I find it perfectly delightful and fine. Way to write, Brooke! Excellent!

Penny, only one person has kind of complained about the X, calling it a stretch, and my reply is - hey, give me a suggestion for a true X and I'll use it if it works. If every alphabet poem HAD to use a true X, lots of alphabet poems simply couldn't get written. LOL Thanks so much, dear friend :-) Brooke

This is a clever use of the alphabet. This Christmas poem presents strong emotions and images of a special season. I cannot choose one favorite line. They are all meaningful. I will add it to my 'favorites' for this holiday. Pat Crandall

Wow...thank you. I've never seen such a beautiful poem put to the alphabet. I really liked this. Wonderful concept. It all flowed very well and maintained the concept of Jesus. Great Job!
