Improbable Haiku
Annunciation;
a big word for an event
cloaked in mystery.
What really happened?
Only sceptics such as me
would ask that question.
Greetings, favoured one!
The angel addresses her,
claims her attention.
The girl, young, awestruck
by news of a pregnancy.
How would I respond?
How can these things be?
The girl has not known a man;
it’s not possible.
Ah, the story goes;
you will be overshadowed
by the Most High God.
You’ll have a baby.
You will call the child Jesus;
he will be God’s Son.
