Christmas Comes ~~ a Whirligig poem

. . MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL

Christmas;

time to celebrate Jesus' birthday

brown is a five letter word

Some of my very best friends,

white, red, black, brown, or yellow

Read their palms, Jesus loves all

born to die to save the world

Today Christians burnt for Him

consonants and vowels we

Like windows, visible and

unmarked and vulnerable

sins forgiven by our God

paint these words, out of the pant-

ry, "Jesus died for my sin!"

On December, 22, 2015, I linked this poem with Kerry O'Connor's post, The Tuesday Encounter, at the Imaginary Garden with Real Toads (open forum day)
. and
I am linked with Whirligig, the Magical Mystical Teacher at Sunday's Whirligig: A Dozen Words for Writers (# 38)

THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from "Ghazal for White Hen Pantry" by Jamila Woods: brown, friends, white, palm, born, burnt, consonants, windows, unmarked, sins, paint, pantry. They are underlined in my 'poem' and you can see I used all twelve words.
