A Child Was Born

A child was born with love on Christmas night, a bright star above pointing to the place; this one amazing star shining so bright, even the barn animals bowed with grace. A bright star above pointing to the place, the wise men came with great awe to bring gifts; even the barn animals bowed with grace, many came from afar through the sand drifts. The wise men came with great awe to bring gifts, and from the sky came a heavenly tune; many came from afar through the sand drifts, and across the black sky the stars were strewn. And from the sky came a heavenly tune, this one amazing star shining so bright; and across the black sky the stars were strewn, a child was born with love on Christmas night. ________________________________ December 26, 2019 Poetry/Pantoum/A Child Was Born Copyright Protected, ID 19-1211-704-02 All Rights Reserved.

Congratulations on your very well-deserved win, Dear Heart. I want to thank you for entering my contest. The birthday of Jesus is my favorite time to remind me of why I am blessed. Your poem had great flow, perfect rhyme, and imagery. Hugs Eve

Caren, thank you for the compliment, I hope Eve likes it, such a difficult form to write for me anyways with all those repeating lines but I like the end result. Hope you had a nice Christmas and have a great year ahead !
