Christmas/Winter Haiku


from the ABC set Poems

Sunset upon snow;
an infant’s eye grows sleepy.
With laughter, it will awake.

Snowflakes, snowflakes, snow
flakes falling. Winter gives me
a book of Haiku.

Present wrapped in white
and tied with black silk ribbon.
Bright Springtime, I hope.

White clouds in blue skies,
I dream of walking on you
and then Christmas comes.

What does the tree mean
with all the gifts underneath?
Look up at the stars.

Advent calendar?
Bah! I open my curtains;
a virgin gives birth.

Flower petals and
blossoms do go to heaven.
Winter Sunset's proof.

Bare trees will bring us
pretty blossoms and sweet fruit.
Reindeers fly through time.

Thankyou, MistakenMagic.

I'm never really a hundred percent certain if my haiku's are any good so it's reassuring to get positive feedback.

Haiku's should be a holiday tradition, I think. They say so much more than greeting card poems.

Nature, as ever, is beautiful and awe inspiring. Thank you, Nature.

Glad you enjoyed them, MM.
