Poetry sung to a Christmas chord,
emblazoned on paper cut by my lord.
Dance to the rhyme with my lass,
Dance to the chime of midnight pass.
Churn the butter of sister and brother,
melting the past embracing one with the other.
Patch the quilt that keeps me warm,
catch the beauty of a winter storm.
Stands the statue under which we gather,
prints the snow of idle chatter.
Witness the chorus on this pearly day,
Pressed in memory to never melt away.

This was an excellent piece, very well written. It had alot of emotion to it, and alot of very good imagery. The rhyming was also very good, and the piece had a consistent flow, which I liked. (bad flow irritates me)

This is gorgeous, it's similar to how I was feeling with the one I just wrote, although I daresay you captured it more eloquently, congratulations on the silver!

hm... it was a nice and an extremely well-written poem, nothing i could dream to write of, i enjoyed it was not a long poem but it contained a lot. you stressed the feeling of togetherness which i melt as well for because i spend all my Christmases with my family ( i never travel) Great peace.
