12-31

a milestone to mark
a time that was and will be
of gratitude, hope

12-30

Only in darkness
Can your light shine the brightest
Let it shine, shine, shine

12-29

Simple, pure, and true
In seventeen syllables
A haiku for you

12-28

Up in the mountains
Dreams reach out, touch heavens blue
Until the rains fall.

12-27

cold winter night sleeps
starry sky, hot jasmine tea
you, dreaming of me

12-26

The day after comes
All that really matters now
A long Winter's nap...

12-25

The shepherds have left
Mother and child doing well
In heaven's peace sleep

12-24

Silent, holy night
Emmanuel, God-with-us
Angels sing - "Rejoice!"

12-23

Not catnip. Not yarn.
Not even a Mickey Mouse.
Books. Just books. And you.

12-15

This mad rush for gifts

When all they ever wanted -

A room at the inn

December Haikus - # 14

One drink, maybe two

Mojitos for me and you

One drunk, maybe two

December Haikus - # 13

Look to your inside

Peace, happiness, love, and light

They're already there

December Haikus # 12

sweets for the sweetest

one look at you and i ask

where?  when? how many?

December Haikus # 11

Black lace, evening star

Sun sets quietly, Moon is hung
Hush little baby

December Haikus # 10

Summer's morning dew
Turns to Winter's first snowflake
Turns to Spring's raindrop

December Haikus # 9

Pa-rhum-pa-pum-pum

Ring-a-ling-ding-dong. Ka -ching.
Frenzied sounds. Hush now.

December Haikus # 8

Mary, full of grace

Teach us wisdom, teach us love
Blessed is thy womb

December Haikus # 7

White Pearl scarred for life

Hula skirt caught on fire

Aloha my love

December Haikus # 6

Glass balls, glowing lights

Dead tree in living room
Killed to honor birth (msi)

December Haikus #5

Rainy day Monday

Sun kept tucked in by gray clouds
Shine another day

December Haikus #4

Trombones, saxophones

Baritones, flutes, French horns too
Let the music play

December Haikus #3

December flower

Red and white poinsettia
Where's the bougainvillea?

December Haikus #2

Children and Christmas

One without the other

Why even bother?

December Haikus #1

Gather ye blessings

For a wreath so bountiful

Its bow - gratitude
