Love came down at Christmas,
Love all lovely, Love divine;
Love was born at Christmas;
Star and angels gave the sign.

JOY
Somehow, not only for Christmas,
but all the long year through,
The joy that you give to others,
Is the joy that comes back to you.
-John Greenleaf Whittier
~~~~~~
God sent a star to light the night for
The Way, The Truth, The Life–His Son.
He sent the Light of Life to prove His heart
so we would invite His Son into our own.
God has given us all the light we’ll ever
need to find peace on earth,
goodwill to men.
-Pamela F.Dowd
~~~~~~
PEACE IS . . .
~ gazing at the stars with the knowledge
that you know their Creator.
~ closing your eyes in sleep without fear
of tomorrow.
~ the stillness in your heart when trouble swirls
around you.
~ a quiet mind in a raging world.

Where there is love, there is peace;
Where there is peace, there is God;
And where there is God; there is no need.

Definition of Poetry
It is difficult to define poetry definitively, especially when one considers that poetry encompasses forms as different as epic poetry and haiku. Needless to say, many poets have given their own definitions. Samuel Taylor Coleridge defined poetry as “The best words in the best order.” Carl Sandburg said that “poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits.”, while Robert Frost stated that “Poetry is the first thing lost in translation”.
Poetry can be differentiated from prose, which is language meant to convey meaning in a less condensed way by using more logical or narrative structures. This does not imply poetry is illogical. Poetry is often created from the desire to escape the logical, as well as expressing feelings and other expressions in a tight, condensed manner. English Romantic poet John Keats termed this escape from logic Negative Capability. A poet is therefore one who creates and poetry is what the poet creates. The underlying concept of the poet as creator is not uncommon.
Lines of poems are often organized into stanzas, or sets of related lines. These are also commonly referred to in Latin, so a collection of four lines is a quatrain, six lines is a sestet and a collection of eight lines is an octet. Two lines is a couplet (or distich), three lines is a tercet, and five lines is a quintain (or cinquain).
