The first two linesof this poem flow and connect well. The last line says it all! Christmas seems to come faster every year! I love the last line it reminds me of all the gifts Jesus has bestowed on me. The artwork is lovely and compliments the theme and words of this poem well.
Have a great week!....Maria

Beautifully written Christmas poem.I really like the contrast of humble surroundings and bringing riches to the world. Good luck in the contest. The illustration is great as well, combining simplicity with beauty

That's a great summary of the Christmas story. Jesus came to the most impoverished of situation even though He's the Creator and King of the universe! Our riches come with faith in Him!
So refreshing to read a Christmas poem with all this Halloween stuff.
Best wishes in the contest!

The message is concise. The baby may be born in the humblest of surroundings, but he brings the richest of gifts to the world. I don't know much about haiku, but it meets the syllable count I expected.
Best of luck in the contest.
