What a wonderful gain we have in understanding.4 total reviews

I love this acrostic poem, as it stresses what Jesus was meant to be for the world. Not a rich king who lords over his subjects. Not a "wise man" who makes edicts and punishes evil doers. Just a man, who tried to do good deeds, and got killed for doing so. :( So sad. But if he could persist, despite all the attempts to stop him from doing good deeds.... so can we. I don't normally like free verse poetry, but I feel the spirit of your poem reaches out to me.

I really like this use of the acrostic form to reflect on the meaning of Christmas. I like the discussion of harsh experiences leading to an understanding of truth - it's often only after we have been broken that we understand the paths others have walked and understand ourselves better, too. One little fix needed - "Emmanuel" in your final line. Thanks for the share.

Excellent acrostic poem, although I think when it's someone's name it is Emanuel. When it is God, it's Emmanuel. Otherwise the message is clear and important and you have expressed this superbly. Well done and good luck in the contest.
