A Poem
Okay, so I haven't done a good job of keeping this up so far in 2012, but I haven't forgotten it. I'll continue to try to improve!
Christmas Comes to Rebel Court
Baby Jesus by the birdbath,
in the next door neighbor's yard,
flanked by Frosty and Santa on one side,
and O!-lipped carolers on the other,
you can't sleep for the throbbing cars,
the inflatable teddy bear's reedy hum,
and in your own glow lie still and awake.
No crying you make, no tears to short circuit
the starry night of many colors,
the annual alignment of ancient
constellations twinkling above you--
The Windows, The Gables, The Wreath on the Door.
O Tannenbaum! O Come, All Ye Faithful!
O Little Town of Bethlehem! O Holy Night!
