Dec 2021
I.
blankets of mist douse
the garden with bluish tinge
chilly night again
---
II.
another Christmas
plagued by masks and boosters though
brighter days ahead
---
III.
extraction of gifts
from their jackets of paper
hands at the ready
blankets of mist douse
the garden with bluish tinge
chilly night again
---
II.
another Christmas
plagued by masks and boosters though
brighter days ahead
---
III.
extraction of gifts
from their jackets of paper
hands at the ready
Written: December 2021.
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), Feliz Navidad (2018), Buon Natale (2019) and God Jul (2020). The title is Irish for 'Merry Christmas.' All feedback welcome. A link to my Facebook writing page and Instagram page can be found on my HP home page.
