Poetry is an art-form that has many facets. It is the beauty of words that express feelings, emotions and thoughts through carefully selected words. One poet called a poem "a thought, caught in the act of dawning." Another said a poem is a means of bringing the wind in the grasses into the house. Still another stated, even more simply: "Poetry is a pheasant disappearing in the brush". If you ask many different people what poetry is you'll get many different answers. That's because poetry affects each of us differently with its focus on words, how they sound, the textures, verse patterns, word choice and interpretations. All of that creates a verbal music-a rhythm, a cadence, a beat-that creates an emotional response in each of us, deep within our soul. A Treasury of Christmas Poems is sure to delight and evoke the warm emotions associated with the holiday season.
