Andrea, it's all too easy to forget that Christmas is not a happy time for many. This dark write from you tells of the true stories out there that many (including myseld) often pretend don't exist. But, they do...

A very powerful, truthful write.
This subject needs addressing.
Much love

Syrup you smacked this. Your standard of poetry is frankly mind blowing at times. Nominated all day long an definitely a subject worthy of the front page.

Andrea. A very powerful write.. well done

Andrea, very well done write on unfortunately how many people live each day. Your tireless work with the homeless really comes out in your writes and brings it all home-blessings to you-

Wow... im speechless

My heart is with you! <3

Hello Andrea, well done on this alternative Christmas write. It is worth highlighting the dark side of this time of year for some.

Well done on the win Andrea, definitely deserving especially highlighting what Christmas can be like for many people.
Lots of love <3

Congratulations Andrea

Andrea, congratulations on your win! This truly was a Christmas poem. Well done-

Powerful, especially the last stanza, and an even more heart wrenching ending. Excellent write.

I've never known a dark
holiday; but I hear whispers
from a babe with cracked lips

Really feeling this line it sparks great imagery as I read it.
