-
The green of the earth has gone to sleep
The willows have no more leaves to weep.
The world is replaced with a new hue
What is ice was once dew.
Once again we embrace the presence of snow
Sparkling crystals that reflect the sun’s glow
That bring to mind a fairy’s dance.
Here’s the time, here’s your chance
To recollect of this time’s past
Christmas day is approaching fast
The familiar glow of red and green
The sounds of bells, though unseen.
Your reflection in the ornaments on the tree.
Classic films on the television to see.
There are parties to throw
Dip into some cookie dough.
Feel the warmth from a fire
And from those around you.
Feel the tingle from your toes
The excitement grows and grows.
No, it is not frost bite.
We still go out in spite
Of the wind the wind and chill
To build a snowman, standing still
Presents wrapped in glimmering paper
Bring alight every taper
We all have our own traditions
We all feel the warmth of the season
Caring and giving, dreaming and hoping
Loving does not need a reason.
The world can come together.
We all can say,
“Merry Christmas”,
And wish for a brighter day.

- Wow, I'm impressed, it's hard for me to find error in this poem. If I were to give contructive critism on anything, maybe you could keep a little consistant with rhyming. You rhyme most of the time, but sometimes you don't. But, deffinitely a 5/5.
