Christmas Song
(Inspired by HowThe Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss)
Christmas Song
I stole your Christmas,
your merry good day.
I got do-dads and gadgets
all major brand names.
You'll wake with nothing,
won't that be a shame,
and I'll be the fault of it all.
What's that I hear?
A song,
a simple little song.
They're singing.
Why are they singing?
SOMETHING'S WRONG!
Christmas came.
What happened to the crying?
I meant to see a sad face.
WHERE'D THE JOY COME FROM?
This is a disgrace!
Christmas morning magic
is still in control.
I took away its fuel,
it had no where to go!
BUT, they're singing—
Why are they singing?
I've lived in darkness
for all of my life.
Thrived on pure evil,
anger and strife.
I wanted madness
so I pulled out this knife
to cut the heart out of Christmas,
I thought . . .
Oh, why am I crying?
Why do I feel so strange?
What happened then
I'll never understand.
Christmas morning magic
warmed the coldest soul.
I never thought it possible.
I started singing.
My heart was singing.
I WAS SAVED
on Christmas day.

This did remind me of the Grinch, but I liked how you showed that nothing can stop God's Spirit from moving. We can try and quelch it, but it just finds another way of popping up.

good
Very nice. It reminds me of a grinch like character? Maybe that is what you meant. Anyway a heartwarming read.

This reminded me a lot of the Grinch...infact, I really like it. I think it's strong enough as it is, and I loved how you emphasized some phrases, it made them a lot more powerful in caps. Anyways, awesome job, merry x-mas!

interesting. I dont know what to say to this cuz I didn't get a feel or impression from it.
i guess it just didn't phase or strike me.
but I'll comment - because you spent points to feature.
maybe if you made this stronger ....well I'm just babbling!
I don't know what advice to offer or suggest so I'll just leave it as "this is not your best"
