The twixts and turns of the words, all delicately delivered like a mathematic equation is superlative.
It is deeper than what the surface shows.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Just brilliant. Such a simple idea, but so hard to execute well - and you've pulled it off! Intelligent poem, poetic intelligence.

I think you are into the punch! Great piece - enjoyable beat with good use of repetition . Very clever examination of both sides in a most unusual way. But I'm not surprised. You are always quite clever. :) Robin

Treischel it is just called Free Verse. You've entangled Christmas pretty well but all in all it comes out the same:

Season is jolly
People sing carols
Tree so pretty
Presents are nice

Heaven sent Hope
Salvation's sent us
Angels sing Praise
Christ the Purpose

    Thank you, I thought the repitition might get tedious.

    I am a fan of repetition and like writing in repeating forms. I know from my reviews that some people are fans like me and others complain. You can never please everyone.

A most enjoyable and creative poem for the holidays. I love this form. There is definitely a dichotomy in the Christmas season and you have done well at pointing this out. Have a very Merry Christmas!!! Debbie

This form of poem is not new, I think. I have reviewed a poem where the some lines have to repeat themselves at a certain sequence. I had forgotten the name they give. That aside, the poem is good as jingle, with a good melody. The words of the poem becomes the lyrics of a beautiful nice song entitled "Hope and Salvation in Praise". Good strong lines with some level of internal rhyming and rhythm. Read the poem out loud and one can feel the tempo of the Duh dad dah or dah duh dah or the dah dah duh. Even got duh dah, dah duh. Excellent experimentation of this intertwined free verse. Great job. Cheers.
