Nice use of biblical and historical references. They give your poem a very powerful backing.

I love it when science is infused with poetry.

It's nice how all your poems are tied to "Thee" - it shows how all your poetry is intertwined in theme, that life is a mixture rather than separation of love, confusion, happiness, etc.

Very nice reminder of different ways to experience Xmas. I ve just celebrated my first (hopefully not last) Xmas in summer shorts under the Southern Cross - surrealistic experience for someone used to Mittel Europa tradition you've captured so well! Excellent atmosphere, rich in images - and powerful message in the last stanza. Merry Christmas! ba
