Best Frankincense Poems
In antediluvian times, so pluviophilian
Red and gold adorned the grandiloquent pavilion.
With circumlocution's mellifluous elocution
Yellow frankincense sparked a yuletide revolution.
Colors of Christmas idiosyncratic and bright
Symptomatic of joy a quintessential sight!
Black's defenestration led to white's sequestration
Blue myrrh, an epiphenomenon of celestial creation.
The floccinaucinihilipilification of green
An obfuscation of nature's loquacious sheen!
Colors of Christmas idiosyncratic and bright
Symptomatic of joy a quintessential sight!
Orange juxtaposition a kakistocracy of hue
Violet and indigo a perspicacious view.
Silver's mellifluous tone, never superfluous
In this chromatic prolegomenon, so wondrous!
Colors of Christmas idiosyncratic and bright
Symptomatic of joy a quintessential sight!
Nonplussed by colors we're rediscussed
This verisimilitude leaves us all nonplussed.
Recalcitrant shades concomitant with glee
A serendipitous fortuitous Christmas spree!
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia aside.
(Fear not these long words let your aichmophobia subside!)
With tintinnabulation and confabulation
We revel in this spectrum's elucidation!
Colors of Christmas idiosyncratic and bright
Symptomatic of joy a quintessential sight!
From soliloquent red to audacious gold
Our multitude of colors both new and old.
This Christmas palette so efficacious
Renders our celebration truly vivacious.
Yet beyond these hues lies a gift profound
A child is born; in Him true light is found.
For unto us a child is born
Unto us a son is given
And his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor
Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
(Isaiah 9:6)
I have no gold, frankincense or myrrh
To offer the King of Kings
He has no use for the treasures that were
No need for material things
So what if the Savior was born today?
What gift are you willing to give?
The One who would take your sins away
For the chance that you might live
Would you speak of Him in a public place
Or turn your head in shame?
Would you tell the world of His Mercy and Grace
Or be sorry that He came?
What gift would you bring the Redeemer of sins
To let Him know His worth?
The One who was before time begins
The Keeper of the earth
He came to bring us Christmas Day
Leaving His Throne above
And the only gift that He asks today
Is our undying love
frankincense and mirth...
Savior’s immaculate birth
paid for sins on Earth
Laying out
the body
and
them
they have released
polite glances
promising touches
and words for lean against
neither polyvinyl chloride windows
couldn't prevent
stupidity
from entrance
you are forcing your exhausted tears
on
kneeling over the cheeks
screenplays remain consistent
only the pawns alternate
it is noon...
... even Satan needs God to survive
The Wisemen were summoned to Herod’s palace, a night so fine.
He wanted to know when the star in the east rose, so sublime.
They hemmed and hawed for a while, for they figured out why
He was so keen on learning of the prophetic star in the sky.
Many children up to age two, were slaughtered, due to Herod’s fear,
The wise men did not seek their savior for another year.
The shepherds spoke of the star, but who heard? A few relatives, and sheep.
Baby Jesus was spared, one two-year-old, whose mother did not have to weep.
The manger scene we see today, although beautifully done, shows a bit of drama,
It makes things seem more Christmas like, seeing Jesus in a manger with his mama,
His daddy, Joseph standing by, the blessed family surrounded by angels, and animals galore.
Traditionally the scene is limited to three Magi, whereas, we believe there were many more.
It makes sense that there were maybe a dozen in this story of old.
As they were carrying precious cargo – valuable frankincense, myrrh, and gold.
According to Matthew, Jesus was a young child, of about two when they arrived,
Not a babe who would have fit in a tiny manger, that part of the story was contrived.
No matter what you believe, if you have heard the story, and feel in your soul it is true,
That alone should bestow blessings, faith, and love on a Christian soldier like you.
