12-Hour Carol Contest: Carol of disarray, Jeffrey Rensch

 Jeffrey Rensch has been writing poetry for 50 years.  He is not a big fan of free verse.


Carol of disarray

Birds in the temple fly

and their catchers elude –

they are too beautiful to buy

but all their twittering is free.

Their song is loud and good.


The chaos does feel good.

The virgin feels the world release

disorganized and full of peace –

the chaos is like peace.

The sexton charges in dismay,

his kingdom is in disarray.

The Lord rings loud and good.

His message is for good.
