Christmasku
The following poems have appeared in
Christmas cards I’ve made over many years. You can also see photographs of each card
at Haiku Christmas Cards. Also see “Angles We Have Heard On High” and Holiday Haiku.
night
falling
snow
winter
stillness . . .
a
strand of tinsel
in
the tilted pine
Christmas morning
a drift of snow
through
the sun porch
Christmas morning . . .
my neighbour’s brass door knocker
dusted with snow
toll
booth lit for Christmas—
from
my hand to hers
warm
change
home
for Christmas:
my
childhood desk drawer
empty
northern lights—
snow sifts
through the bird feeder
deep
red sunset
on
Christmas Eve—
the
phone’s sudden ring
distant
church bells . . .
a
sparrow’s breath
lost
in the holly berries
crackling fire—
a hint of eggnog
in her kiss
