Very well written .I enjoyed the rhythmic flow and the rhymes. The theme of Mary and Gabriel and Christmas is evergreen .Your friend's last stanza goes very well with the rest...

A delicate telling of the annunciation and of the simplicity at the heart of faith. The illustration complements the meaning very well! The poem speaks simply and directly to the reader.

A beautiful, timely poem, written with a good aabb rhythm and quatrain style. It is a welcome reminder of the truly supernatural nature of the virgin birth that brought the light and hope - and, of course, love of Heaven to Earth. This remarkable event is captured in the beauty of simplicity in this poem.
