Hi Brooke! I love this poem. It is beautifully written and flows and reads so well. The rhyming couplets are perfect as is the rest of the poem. A beautiful Christmas poem. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas. -ray

Wow, what a great poem with a great rhythm and rhyme scheme. This would make a perfect Christmas card verse or scrapbook project for kids. Just delightful (as is all your work.) Very nice progression of a story with your alphabetic letters. Good job.

Brooke,

This is an excellent alphabet poem. What I really like is how well the verses pair up into couplets. I also like your message here. Rich and poor, He came to save us all.

I couldn't find anything to criticize.

Very different style for you Brooke and I enjoyed it immensely. These dictionary/alphabetical poems are extremely difficult to write and you chose wonderful words that describe the Christmas season without feeling at all forced. Plus, you bring in rhyme! I am very impressed. Sue

adewpearl,

I wish that I had another star for this most beautiful and divine abc.. poem! Just beautiful! You have managed to fit so many aspects of the holiday in it. What a great idea.

Here are some of my favorite lines from it:

"D is for the dark dispelled by God of all creation
E is for Emmanuel, so long ago foretold "

Wow! I really wish I could give this one six stars. All too often poems like this are extremely unrythmical, but yours is absolutely perfect! I love this Christmas alphabet. Wonderful job and Merry Christmas!

Thank you, Mary - I am so pleased you felt the rhythm of this alphabet poem - to me, if a poem lacks rhythm, it is not much of a poem :-) Brooke Merry Christmas to you and your entire family, my friend :-)

I enjoyed each line of this alphabet poem, Brooke, and the images of Christmas you gave this reader. It was an enjoyable read and I think it must have been a fun one to write.
Blessings to you!
