The chorus of Christmas Day

Daniel

As the dawn announces the new day
Icicles hang like jewels from the trees
The birds sing a gentle chorus
Their song carried on the icy breeze

Light filters through the frosted glass
It's light dancing softly around the room
The decorations glimmer like the  stars
Around an impish moon

So as the dawn light breaks slowly
And as the night slips quietly away
We listen to the faintest  melody
Of the chorus of Christmas day

    Beautiful poem of nature's beauty and gifts Daniel. Your imagery is picture perfect, I felt I was seeing it all first hand..Great rhyme and flow and the voice in the reading comes through slow and gentle, I would love to listen to a recording of this one. I so love the dawn for the peacefulness and newness it brings. Bravo my friend....Beautiful work....Dee

    Thank you Dee again for your great comments. I'm not sure about doing a recording, I'm not sure that my voice would do it justice (not sure it would do wheels on the bus justice for that matter haha)

    Thanks for sharing DANIEL ~ nice structure (quatrains) and rhyme pattern (xaxa xbxb etc) perfect structure and perfect subject. Great (as DEE says) to recite (I don't think she expected you to sing it !). Winter mornings in the UK are always special and their beauty and promise always gets me out of my bed and ready for the day ! Yours BRIAN

      Thanks Brian, I guessed that she didn't mean sing it. What I meant was that I like the idea that when someone reads what I have written that they hear it in their own voice, thus making it unique to them. I am afraid that if I recite it that it may ruin that illusion! Silly I know!

        Thanks DANIEL - I appreciate what you are saying. I am a performance poet and because I am a Lecture I don't find pronunciation and annunciation too much of a problem. I like poets like Burns & Betjamen & Keats & Shakespeare that write in strict meter and are easier to recite ~ OK ~ BRIAN
