In the Eyes of the Children Richard Alfred Marschall
Richard Alfred Marschall's second Christmas anthology, affords us a novel way of looking at the Christmas Holiday through the very eyes of the ones who will make and shape the world as it will come be to be. Our children hold the promise of the continuance of life, and the hope of a better future. Through them the tomorrows, thread their tapestry, into our todays.
This timeless, insightful, sometimes whimsical, and even metaphysical compilation of Christmas verses, propels us into the real world of the Christmas Holidays, and addresses the questions of what it is that Jesus' Birth is meant to convey. Marschall's individual style of writing lends itself well to the examination of human frivolousness and frailty. His poems make us aware of our self-doubts, recriminations, and fears, while setting the foundation, for the nobler aspects of us being.
A variety of poetic styles, from the simpler flow of pure rhyme, to the more intricate free verse, sonnet, and pentameter supports a platform of joyful and flowing verse that is hard to put down.
Yet, like his "Magic of Christmas" Anthology of 2020, there is the recurring thought, and emotional construct, that there is something more, a Higher Power, if you will, that transcends the boundaries of Earth and time,
