Hi Tim,

This is a fantastic poem. The tone is formal. It suits the poem and subject matter very well. The poem is about the sacrifice Jesus made to have our sins forgiven and the joy we feel around Christmas as we celebrate when He was born. I love Christmas and take an abundance of joy in celebrating it every year. I loved this poem and read to the last word. The free verse works well in this poem, and you have handled it very well. There is a wonderful rhythm here. The poem flows extremely well. It is a pleasure to read. You have used punctuation and grammar consistently in this poem. There is nothing to distract the reader from their reading pleasure. Great job.
