I’ve been working on finalizing the manuscript for my holiday poetry book, which I’ll be publishing on CreateSpace and Kindle in the next week or so. I decided the “Advent to Christmas” section was a little thin; plus when I try a new form I can never write just one so I had to write another trimeric. I wasn’t going to post it, but decided to after all for Open Link Night at dVerse Poets Pub today.
Joy
Jesus is the greatest gift to all mankind
More magnificent than jewels or gold
More valuable than the newest smartphone
More satisfying than any gift under the tree
More magnificent than jewels or gold
Offered by husbands to wives as a gift
Joy’s in the giving when Christ is praised
More valuable than the newest smartphone
Offered by parents to kids as a prize
Joy is in Christ for the child love raised
More satisfying than any gift under the tree
Is the gift Jesus promises to you and me
Joy in salvation, all our sins razed
