The Ex-Mas Bells Ring
Trees blurt out their Pine-Sol scent
Cold fingers my toes
Brother's gift is late
Forgot to wrap the others
Remember gift cards!
Head cold, sleepy, snarf
Move slowly, my parents wait
Must get going now
Although I complain
I still like the trees and lights
Electric snowflakes
So Merry Christmas
And a Happy Holiday
Wishing you love, peace
A Note - Folks, progress has been made. A year ago I would not even DREAM that I would have enough courage to write a Mostly Christmas Haiku. A year ago I was so afraid of verses and syllables that I would have done anything to get away from them. Haiku? Just say the word to me and I'd look away, eyes downcast, face blushed, unable to even try it. I credit this change to the Choka and the good people who run and contribute to it.
When the Choka first started, I was even afraid to go on there and look around. When I finally did all I could do was read it and marvel at everyone's cleverness. Now, I contribute regularly, have been famed and shamed, and was even included in awgeez' "Sam I Am" Shame Alley write up from Week 38.
Choka on everyone. And if you haven't checked it out, please do so. The more, the merrier.
