fog-clogged atmosphere
naked unearthly structures
loom with static limbs

II.
crispy chunks of spuds
gift-wrapped meat nudge sliced white bird
paper crowns for all

III.
to next year thoughts turn
last days unfurl post-Noel
with dawn's frosted tongue

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), God Jul (2020), and Nollaig Shona (2021). The title is Welsh for 'Merry Christmas.'
