I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old familiar carols play, And wild and sweet the words repeat Of peace on earth, good will to men. You are bringing peace. tony
Iambic tetrameter. Wonderfully written, flows nicely, and with a great message. These poets were the original “rappers”. “And wild and sweet, the words repeat” “Till, ringing, singing on its way, The world revolved from night to day A voice, a chime, a chant sublime, Of peace on earth, good will to men” It flows so smoothly that iambic pattern.
And in despair I bowed my head: 'There is no peace on earth, ' I said 'For hate is strong, and mocks the song Of peace on earth, good will to men.' /// great writing; powerful Christmas poem penned
A beautiful poem on Christmas.'The world revolved from night to day.' It is true. There is much merry making and fun in this time. Loved it.
'For hate is strong, and mocks the song Of peace on earth, good will to men.'.... //.... Very true. Evil forces are stronger today. Innocent voices of dissent are being suppressed..
