I.
cold winter morning
windscreens glazed in silver dust
pavements and grass wet
---
II.
crew of coloured shapes
clamour underneath the tree
concealed for now
---
III.
and the food comes in
steaming green vegetables
spuds like chunks of gold

Explanation: A set of three haikus relating to the Christmas period - not meant to be taken seriously, and a deviation from my normal style of work. This follows a similar set of (fairly samey) haikus written over the past few years - 'Yuletide Trilogy' (2012), 'Stocking Fillers' (2013), 'Christmas Triptych' (2014), ‘Festive Trio’ (2015), ‘Pulling Crackers’ (2016), Joyeux Noël (2017) and Feliz Navidad (2018). The title is Spanish for 'Merry Christmas.' All feedback welcome. A link to my Facebook writing page can be found on my HP home page.
