Best Joseph Poems

an impression of the world
stands before me
Left is right, and right is wrong, 
and the mirror reflects a melancholy song.

i the mirror
not 
the babbling brook,
or
the rippled river
whose images tell harmless lies.

i
the mirror,
who was once held in the 
weak, shivering, hands of a life nearing its...

A moonlight serenade drifts up to the stars
And joins the melody of the universe
Ebony notes accompany celestial guitars
And moonbeam rhapsodies soon disperse

The serenade plays with the steps of two
Evolving in love beneath a moonbow
Dancing to the ebony notes with a view
Their hearts rest with the...

Ah,  King Biden, thou dost lie to me!
When thou blamest Putin for everything from sea to sea!

Now Israel loved Joseph more, a son of his old age.
He made for him a splendid coat; his brothers were enraged.
They scarce could civil speak to him; there was no peace, it seemed.
And bad relations turned to worse when Joseph had his dreams.

“Behold, we were...

You are old, Uncle Joseph,
your short stepping gait
has aroused much comment
in the media of late.

My steps  may be short
but I still get along.
Like Johnny Walker
I'm still going strong.

You are old, Uncle Joseph.
If  I err, please forgive..
Your memory, they say,
somewhat resembles a sieve.

Being forgetful...

Dear Jesus, did you know, 
I have a Joseph, too?
Mine, like yours, is kind and gentle,
Loyal, loving, and true.

Like your Joseph, God sent him
To guard and protect our family,
And through the years he's done just that,
He's really very special to me.

Your Joseph, we've known as...

Man of the sea, why are you departing, forever away,
 touching a sail on the ship that glides, fading as a wave?
 Winds of seas only waving, hugging flags goodbye for the brave.
 The sails of your ship are shyly caressing wind at play.
 Sorrow...

St.Joseph,
Foster father of our Lord Christ,

Wordless worries wander wearily working wayward,
    Towards thoughts transgressing truth’s textured tide.
As always acknowledging agnosticism’s appeal,
    Essence easily evaporates, exeunt Emile. 
Very virtuous violent vowels vociferously validate,
    Sanctimonious sessions some subtly sacrosanct.
Is it in incrementally immense...

When Joseph awoke
He did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him…

Mary Joseph and the Donkey
By Franklin Price
12/23/2105

Mary, Joseph and the donkey, on the way to Bethlehem.
Jesus not yet born, but he was still with them
Warm in Mary's stomach still swaddled in the womb.
Would be crowded in the city, hoped that they could get a room

Finally...

Farolitos: lanterns of candlelight;
Luminarias: outdoor fires of pine.
Both light quiet path on a Christmas night
for Mary and Joseph, old ones define
messages that the new babe is divine.

A candle in sack borrows from the two:
a delicate, hanging Chinese lantern, 
and small fires left as a signal,...

I am the Carpenter, we were the chosen of many,

We became parents sadly, our Saviour to bury....
