A White Christmas Poem by Carla Jean Laglia Esely

A White Christmas

Rating: 4.3


'Twas the night before christmas.
With a blanket of white.
That covered the earth all through the night.
The trees sparkled like diamonds.
With a glitter so bright.
That each little twinkle made its own christmas light.
A hope and a prayer a white christmas would be.
Awaiting the dawn so all could see.
The beauty and joy a white christmas does bring.
To the holiday season as carolers sing.
For twas the night before Christmas.
God answered your prayer.
With a blanket of white.
Placed with God's loving care."

Kim Barney you stirred my curiosity, this is the only comment by Michael Morris, and Lee Drager has not been back after 2006 either; now later I will have to read all of the poems by Carla Jean Laglia Esely; and I also disappeared from my previous poemhunter.com site, moved countries computers wanted to confirm I am me so locked me out, had changed cellphones and apparently poemhunter.com cannot I am me either, any other split personality site poems out there?

'Twas the night before christmas. With a blanket of white. That covered the earth all through the night. The trees sparkled like diamonds. With a glitter so bright. That each little twinkle made its own christmas light.' absolutely brilliant, I reread and enjoyed the entire poem immensely, as regards spelling errors, this indicates probably the poem was written swiftly and I think we all know exactly what is meant and how to correct the grammar which spoilt my delight not in the slightest, so thanks to the editor for overlooking grammar and posting 'A White Christmas' by Carla Jean Laglia Esely because I absolutely loved it :) :) :) and am voting it 10+++

LOVELY POEM, but please correct the capitalization for the word 'Christmas.' Three times it is spelled with a lower case 'c' and once with the correct upper case 'C'. Christmas is a proper name and should always be spelled with a capital. Also, the apostrophe is missing on the second 'twas.' Thank you. :)

This poet submitted all five of her poems on January 2,2003 and probably hasn't logged in since. No corrections have been made.
