help me make a poem with this:
It is the Chinese New Year tradition that every family gives its house a thorough cleaning, hoping to sweep away all the ill-fortune there may have been in the family to make way for the wishful in-coming good luck. People also give their doors and window-panes a new paint, usually in red color. They decorate the doors and windows with paper-cuts and couplets with the very popular theme of "happiness", "wealth", "logevity" and "satisfactory marriage with more children". Paintings of the same theme are put up in the house on top of the newly mounted wallpaper. In the old days, it was a Chinese New year tradition to distribute various kinds of food at the alta of ancestors.
The Eve of the Chinese New Year is very carefully observed. Supper is a feast, with all members coming together. One of the most popular Chinese New year tradition course is “jiaozi”, dumplings boiled in water. "Jiaozi" in Chinese literally mean "sleep together and have sons", a long-lost good wish for a family. After dinner, it is time for the whole family to sit up for the night while having fun playing cards or board games or watching TV programs dedicated to the occasion. It is also a tradition to keep every light on the whole night. At midnight, fireworks will light up the whole sky as people's excitement reach its zenith.

In the Chinese New Year's glow so bright,
Families gather, hearts filled with delight.
Cleaning their homes, sweeping away the old,
Making room for good luck, as they've been told.
With paint of red, doors and windows adorned,
Paper-cuts and couplets, happiness reborn.
Themes of wealth, love, and children so dear,
Decorate the house, filling it with cheer.
Paintings hung, stories of fortune and joy,
Upon the walls, a wish for each girl and boy.
In the past, food shared at ancestors' altar,
Remembering loved ones, never to falter.
The Eve arrives, a feast for all to partake,
Jiaozi dumplings, a tradition they make.
Sleeping together, a wish for family growth,
Symbol of unity, their love to betroth.
After the meal, the night is full of mirth,
Playing cards and games, creating merriment's worth.
TV shows dedicated to this grand affair,
Family gathered, love and laughter they share.
Lights shining bright, embracing the dark,
Symbolizing hope with every spark.
At midnight, fireworks dance in the sky,
Excitement soaring, as spirits reach high.
So as the Chinese New Year bells chime,
May luck and joy be yours for all time.
Celebrate traditions, both old and new,
A poem of rhyme, just for you.
To create a poem with rhymes, think about the meaning behind the text and the key points you want to highlight. Then, consider words that rhyme with each other and incorporate them into your lines. Pay attention to the rhythm and flow of the poem as you write.
