This work has reached the exceptional level

Hello Sally, this is a superbly written and displayed piece of work. Fantastic picture, and your two Duotrain Poems (a new form to me) are written in good abcb rhyme, maintained throughout. Beautifully worded, you tell the story so well. The angel almost sinks into your words - stare long enough and I swear she moves. A worthy entry to the contest which I think is a strong contender. Love Dorothy xx

    Thank you for the beautiful review and generous six stars, dear Dorothy. I'm so honored and blessed. I thought the angel very real, too. I spent weeks searching for just the right one for this post. Sending you my best today as always and blessings for Christmas,
    Sally XOs...xo....

This is a beautiful Christmas poem. You've told the Christmas story all over again. This is my favorite verse.

"Arise O Earth, for your Lord comes!
Turn from the Jester's mirth!
For unto you is born this day,
One of a virgin's birth!"

Hi Sally, I'm actually singing along as I'm writing this review. I used to perform 'Hallelujah' with the chorus I belonged to in college. We became quite famous in Scandinavia. 'Zahle's Pigekor' it was called. But that's a by de by. I loved your poem. What a lovely contribution for Christmas. Ulla:)))
