Haiku Christmas
47
Thought I'd let a few haiku come out of the weather.
white dog swallowed up
identified by his leash
dragging in the snow
christmas fantasy
everything a fairy tale
through the falling snow
slush and slippery
spending my Christmas inside
on the motorway
christmas lights flashing
through the haze of falling snow
families at home
I shouldn't be surprised by your thoughtfulness and yet I still am. Thank you so much. You are a special human being. Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy time. Russ
Russ, great Haiku. Bless you and your family during this white beautiful season, Christmas and New Year.
Love your verses. Vladimir.
Lovely haiku...Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Keep that poetry coming in 2010 please.
Thanks Dink, and all the best to you too. Have a good one!
Thanks Vladimer, thanks for your support and encouraging comments. All the best for a wonderful CHristmas and new year. Love and versus to you too my friend. Russ
You certainly captured the essence of Christmas and snowy winters here, Russ. I really enjoyed both the haikus and the pictures. Thanks!
Have a Merry Christmas!
Hi Dohn, thank you! And all the best to you and your family for a wonderful Christmas and happy year ahead.
Beautiful pictures and haiku. Thank you
Hi Jess, thank you and Merry Christmas
Hi Russ, really like the white dog in snow one and the last piture of the tree is a great image. Hope you have a godd New Year.
Thanks Hotspur, and all the very best to you and ylours too.
Russ - you are a magician! Thanks for these wonderful, crisp little poems. Sitting here in sweltering Pretoria I feel we could use some snow - dis blerrie warm hierso, man! And maybe you could use some of the warmth, huh? (Couldn't let a Yank be the only one to leave a comment in Afrikaans now, could I? Wonder where Larry got it from?)
Anyway - warm wishes to you as the New Year comes close!
Love and peace
Tony
I miss the snow.... Your haiku was very nice. Thanks, JM
Thanks Tony, I always smile when you visit. Best wishes to you and your family for the new year too. Goed gaan. Russ
Thanks James, I've just written another entitled Haiku Snow. Not sure if I'll miss it for a while after most of the country was affected for weeks.
Loved your Christmas haikus - so simple, yet so deep...
Thanks Moulik, much appreciated. That's what I love about haiku. It is simple and yet can tell quite a story.

Russ...Lovely snapshots writ crisp and pure, much like the snow described...Thank you..
I wonder why we associate snow with fantasy, family, and frivolity..? Partly, I think, because it changes our secure, snug little worlds into something magical, different, yet somehow comforting...I'm wishing you and yours a very Merry and White Christmas and a Happy and Safe New Year... Geseende Kersfees, my friend...Larry
