Advent – A Poem
I’ve been thinking all week about writing an acrostic poem about Advent. What I ended up with also uses alliteration so that there are four words for each letter in Advent, to represent the four Sundays of Advent.
My son saw me typing this poem and asked, “What’s with the shape?” I said that it’s supposed to look kind of like a crown, for the King of kings, though you have to look at it sideways to see it. I’m not sure it works, but decided to leave it this way anyway.

Thank you! Peace, Linda
You are on top of your game, Linda! I give your poem an A+++ ! When I read the intro I knew this had to be a challenge. You have lifted me up with your words. Save this one for your book, and blessings to you. : )
Linda, What a nice comment! You have no idea how much I appreciate the encouragement. Peace, Linda
Oh my goodness! This is a work of art and heart! You always make these look easy, but they are not! God bless you and your love of Him during this Advent!
Deb, A thesaurus is essential for a poem like this. I think of the concept them use the thesaurus to find a similar word that means the same thing. Peace, Linda
