All Comments on 'Christmas Time In Shady Pine, USA'

maybe too dark for my preferences, but it has so many strong narrative features that it's a powerful statement.

Your poem has been recommended in the new poems review thread on the Poetry Feedback and Discussion forum.

first stanza the best, interesting use of rhyme, don't know if Shady Pine is a real name, but great town name for the poem. I would do away with "gold and silver in his hair", otherwise this puts the X back in Xmas.
