snowdrop flourishes
frost-baptised in dawn’s first light
rows of white applause

II.
gathered family
state of gratitude and warmth
lights twinkling on tree

III.
transient language
Boxing Day trodden whispers
in sky’s yuletide gift

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), Nollaig Shona (2022), Nadolig Llawen (2022) and Christmas Times (2023).
