This is an excellent acrostic poem that sums up the horrors taking place in the ironically named Holy Land this Christmas. Well done and best of luck in the competition.

Comment from Bill Schott
This acrostic poem, CHRISTMAS CONFLICT, follows the vertical formatting using initial words and brings the world and the year of 2023 to a sad ending with this type of senseless bloodshed.

Comment from T B Botts
Hello Author,
Well done on your acrostic poem. So much can be said in so few words. This whole conflict has created nothing but misery for all involved. I'm hoping for a good resolution, but before the end there will be a lot more death. It didn't have to be, but terrorists don't care about doing what's right. Thanks for sharing. Good luck in the contest.
Blessings,
Tom

Comment from Rosemary Everson1
Conflicts are never a good thing. Soldiers are protecting us from harm's way this Christmas. I pray, too, for the families that have loved ones at home, praying for the war to end.

Comment from Navada
This is a powerful acrostic which highlights a terrible reality occurring in our world right now. How sad that this is happening in the very region where the first Christmas took place. One little edit required - the repetition of the c in Conflict right near the end. Thanks so much for sharing this and good luck for the contest.

I enjoyed reading your political Christmas poem. It flows well with a powerful message of truth concerning the conflict with Israel and the Hamas. Your artwork choice enhances your message. Thank you for sharing. Best wishes!

We must remember that Christmas over there isn't any fun, neither for the soldier or the civilian received by suspicion, why people think it a holy war is beyond me, a beautifully written acrostic, well done, blessings Roy

Your presentation of this current day aggression is well written and aptly described. The acrostic form is cleverly presented and unique. A really good job of developing this verse for the contest. I wish you luck.

I suppose this is a pretty good acrostic. I cannot read it because you have used the black font on the dark red. For people with vision problems, they cannot see the black on the red. You might've been better to go with a light gray color for the font.

Comment from Austin Yu
Yes, it is truly saddening that there is still war and so much loss in this time of year. Acrostic poetry is very apparent here. Thanks for bringing this to light through your first part. Good writing, thank you for making us aware of this!
