   Sunday Song & Rhyme: Dec 24 - Jan 6

Welcome to the Outlawz Sunday Song & Rhyme Challenge!

 

A big thank you to everyone for their entries last challenge. We do enjoy seeing how everyone interprets the song/Rhyme! They were all fantastic!

 

To play in this challenge you do not have to follow the Song/Rhyme to the letter. We only ask that you find something in the song or rhyme to inspire your card/project and that you tell us what your inspiration was in your blog post. (This is required to be eligible for the prize)

 

This challenge has no sponsors, but you do have the opportunity to win a top 3 or honorable mention badge. Also, you can still enter your card (one only) to The Outlawz Challenges for a chance at a prize from one of our sitewide sponsors!

 

Now on to the challenge!

Our Song/Rhyme this fortnight is from Susan

The Oxen

BY THOMAS HARDY

Christmas Eve, and twelve of the clock.

“Now they are all on their knees,”

An elder said as we sat in a flock

By the embers in hearthside ease.

We pictured the meek mild creatures where

They dwelt in their strawy pen,

Nor did it occur to one of us there

To doubt they were kneeling then.

So fair a fancy few would weave

In these years! Yet, I feel,

If someone said on Christmas Eve,

“Come; see the oxen kneel,

“In the lonely barton by yonder coomb

Our childhood used to know,”

I should go with him in the gloom,

Hoping it might be so.

INSPIRATION FROM THE DESIGN TEAM

 

Jane

I wasn't sure how to marry the image and the poem to start with, but reading an analysis of the poem, which says it is voiced by an older man remembering Christmas eve as a child, I was then able to use the mouse sleeping on Christmas eve and believing that Santa is on his way.
