The Nativity CharliekuJoseph
and Mary
traveled on a
donkey
to give birth
in Bethlehem,
but there
was no room
in the town's inn
In the
silence of
the starry night,
born in
a manger
the dear Savior
Angel
announces
to the shepherds:
"Today
nearby is
born a baby
God's son
the Savior,
Jesus the Lord
Angels
sing: "Glory
to God in the
highest,
peace to His
people on earth.

NativityNativity
Twilight in the stable
Soft rays slant in radiance
Lingering voices and starlight
Swaddle the eternal light
Serenading the Word
Who sang them into life

NativityAs the morning dawned to a world of white
and smoked curled up from chimney pots
Indoors people started to stir and rise
the children excited ran to the tree.
Beheath it, presents in colourful paper
and delightful smells waft from kitchen
All dressed up in their best for church
they...

Verse
Of the Dreaded Scourge Currently Afflicting the Municipality and Environ of My Nativity and YouthThis dread disease that has afflicted my home,
This malady, this plague on my house;
This making convertible the former quaintness and provincialism thereof
Into something wholly despicable and disgustingly homogeneous,
Yclept "cosmopolitanism," and "worldliness," and "globalization,"
(Or, perhaps "globalism");
That force of rude power that recognizes no...

Nativity Play(True story)
As nativity plays go, this one was a doozy
with plenty of chances to fail
and even after all the countless rehearsals
it did, on a Biblical scale.
My part, I was Joseph, and Barbara was Mary,
the Jesus doll wrapped in a sheet
three wise men in the wings...

A Nativity Scene, Brooklyn StyleThe fire alarm went off at the projects,
but when they got their, no one spoke,
and there was the absence of fire and smoke,
it was just going to be a prank,
and that’s when a crime scene developed
in a project house basement, a dank,
the odor was so...

Dramatic Monologue
Nativity of JesusTo look
upon His face,
hold in my craving arms,
seek his divine grace and favor.
I'd spread my wings and sing a Cherub hymn.
The Seraphim angels' harps would
strum melodies paying
homage to our
God's son.

Marveling Upon the Star of Bethlehem a Story of the NativityEarly autumn on the rise against the night sky
two silhouettes, black against the clouds of stars
one sit riding sideways upon an ass
while another walk beside holding the lead
along the road tired, dirty, and worn
Sometimes she felt ill and fatigued
as she feels the child move,
the thoughts...

A Nativity SceneThe sinking sun left hurriedly from Bethlehem,
Leaving a dark chilly sky without any clouds
The town was overcrowded with many people,
The smell of sweat reeked every where, no place to wash.
Late at night two figures limped into town dead tired.
The woman felt the pain for birth...

Manger ShadowManger Shadow
A shadow lurks behind the manger bed
Swaddled by indifference,
Creeping behind
Lowing cows
And
Bleating sheep,
Power without power raising up a hoary head
While in vanity dim shades attempt to weave
A gloomy thread into the scent
Of...

Birth of JesusJesus,
born this day as
the world spun round and hearts
beat, small and humble the savior
of this world born in a manger beneath
His guiding star in Bethlehem.
The Word became flesh and
dwelt among us,
Jesus.

Riding Home for ChristmasIt came at the right time
Just before my fragile heart
Was about to burst with the largely
Unnecessary stress of work
Some things have to be completed
The boss's demands
Wielding power with no
Consideration for the small man
Or the small woman
(not so small now actually)
I think we are both tired
But...

Joy To the World

Son
of God
our Savior,
was born. In a
manger filled with
hay, in a stable,
his mother near, Jesus
was sent to us. Many
came to behold and, led by
the Star of Bethlehem saw Mary
and Joseph with their child, not
just a tiny babe, but the Son of God.
On that Blessed and Holy...
