and so beautiful, it made me cry

'Tis the ghost of Christmas past ~

Welcome back JUDO!

And here we have her trademarked disciplined write,

She has got to be her own fiercest taskmaster;

I mention the mechanics first since they're so easy to overlook,

Here's a deeply feeling, sadly moving, Christmas piece.

Judo, this is absolutely beautiful and certainly did touch my heart.

I didn't see it posted in Champs thread, but I am sure glad you posted it here.

This poem has an undertone of sadness, the imagery here is lovely. A certain melancholy pervades this rendering.

Glad to read this now instead of at Christmas --- I'd rather feel joy then. Filled with haunting sadness.

With this kind of sadness, it just doesn't feel like Christmas. But come to think of it, at that time of year, sadness is that much more hurting. Terrie

Nothing can bring out sadness like Christmas, when pain stands in stark contrast to all the joy of the season of cheer.
