God's Only Son Poetry Contest - Sponsored by: Regina Mcintosh
News was flashed of the immaculate birth It happened on the night before Christmas God graciously gifted His Son to earth. The sky became an angelical mass As hosts of Angels embellished the night It happened on the night before Christmas. The Star of Wonder brought forth a bright light Shepherds arose from watching o’er their flock As hosts of Angels embellished the night. In Mary’s arms little Jesus would rock Having arrived to angelic fanfare Shepherds arose from watching o'er their flock. Sent to Mary and Joseph's precious care Through His Son God's voice would be heard, hearts stirred Having arrived to angelic fanfare. The whole world rejoiced with celestial mirth News was flashed of the immaculate birth Through His Son God's voice would be heard, hearts stirred God graciously gifted His Son to earth.

a truly stunning and masterful Terzanelle. The rhyme scheme was dynamic and the images powerful! I know I commented yesterday but thought a lot about your poem and don't think I gave it justice. You're quite skilled and inspirational! Enjoyed this one immensely, hugs, Sara
