An Early Holiday Poem
This seems to be my Poetry Soup way of life:
"Thank you for your wonderful poems. We only
allow 10 poems posted per 24hr period so that
more poems are read. Thanks again for your
wonderful poety. In the meantime, please
comment of the poetry of others." Look at
this Poetry Soup Comment and tell me what
is wrong with it? How about poety and of
which should be on for starters? Don't
get me wrong. I am just trying to be a nice
guy. They didn't put any of my recent poems
on their recent email either. My jinx has
just been broken so here goes:
An Early Holiday Poem Part 1
I certainly must make a confession
She sure seems to have such an obsession
About a glorious new star and it siting
Inviting an occasion for poem to be writing.
Compared to other ones, this star outshone
Appearing like it was standing there all alone
Way up high in a completely dark sky
While we on earth were wondering why.
Some people were making and declaring an edict
About somewhere in Bible were people predict
A great, huge star someday will soon appear
Signifying the Christ Child was close and near.
Yet, they didn't have a recorder called a cam
But I believe it was in beloved Bethlehem
Cute Christ Child was cuddled in a big barn
So everyone could start spreading a yarn.
Three wise men met Jesus with their presence
With all of their real, actual pleasing presents
Which created quite a stir with their demure
With some perfume, frankincense and Mir.
After perfectly planned party was finally done
Christ Child's glorious life had now begun
Outside many people started to toil and tarry
And rebuilt barn into a Romanesque Monastery.
Why did they pick a Romanesque style of all things?
