This meets the contest requirements splendidly as you deliver a structurally sound Four Line Poem with correct line and syllable count throughout. The content is so very true as the essence of the holiday has been lost in the overwhelming tide of materialism. Good luck in the judging and thank you very much for sharing it.

    It?s not a popular angle of Christmas, but from my heart. Thank you so much.

A very well-written four-line poem about the focus of Christmas that shifted from remembrance of the birth of Jesus to the wants and greed of a perfect Christmas gift for all.

    Yes, too many are celebrating by what to get and miss the real gratitude point

Oh yes indeed and you have said it perfectly. It has indeed and that is why I don't go shopping til it is after midnight shopping and not all the rush.
Once
Center of spirit
Now has sadly changed
Into a tangible focus rush

    I think a lot is internet shopping now. At least it?s virtual not fighting physically over tangible things. He is the reason for the season, and
    Love isnt materialistic.
    I appreciate all your reviews, Barb

I'm with ya. The focus is on the fantastic gift. Family and friends should be above that. Christ's birthday number one. Great job. Great poem. Good luck in the contest

This is a potentially successful contest entry. It conveys the clear message that the Christmas season has become too commercialized. Thanks for sharing. Keep writing.

If I'm reading this right, you're talking about the mistake of focusing on the urgent (tangible focus rush) vs. focusing on the important (center of being.) A mistake to which we're all prone, I believe. Good luck with t he contest.
