Holiday Haikus

[tk102]

Holiday seasons

Both stress and satisfy us

Will you write haikus?

 

Haikus are easy

All can compose their format

So let's share them now

 

 

****

 

When I was a child

I ate all Santa's cookies

The Grinch was not pleased

[adamqd]

Scrub Christmas tree, bare

rooms echo furniture gone

mother and child laugh.

[tk102]

I can't find a spot

to park. I make decision:

he won't get a gift.

[Pavlos]

I can't find a spot

to park. I make decision:

he won't get a gift.

 

How... lovely... and not at all depressing.

[Rogue Nine]

*hic* *burp* *hic* *gurp* *hic*

*stumble* *stumble* *stumble* ow

who spiked my eggnog

[Jae Onasi]

Glowing Christmas lights,

Angel tops the scented tree,

Ornaments sparkle.

 

Creche on the mantle.

Children play with figurines

portraying Christ's birth.

[tk102]

They can't guarantee

delivery by Christmas.

Shipping costs double.

 

3 days vacation

but will get paid for 7.

Christmas spirit here!

 

It's dark when I drive.

Holiday-colored houses

makes traffic blend in.

[Samuel Dravis]

What can be better?

A nice warm holiday here

beside my fireplace.

 

Sparkling glitter glows

adorn all the windows tonight.

They are beautiful.

 

 

another from a chat with tk and dev and avery:

 

Ayn Rand sleeps uneasy

Christmas makes her super angry

Good thing she is dead!

 

 

more:

 

Munching chocolate

I stay up to see Santa.

When is he coming!?

 

Teekay is naughty

He gets no presents, only

coal in his stocking.

 

Abominable snow

falls in the far northern wastes.

Good, that is far away.

 

And a finale:

 

It is really late,

why do I stay up like this?

Inexplicable.

[Sabretooth]

Northern land nice

Beautiful snow there

I am chilling in sun.

 

Santa is evil

He stole my cookies

He's got a gun.

 

Holy bloody hell

This is the first time

I'm writing haiku

 

Machineguns merry,

So is tonight's stew

Pray for the soldiers.

 

A morbid tale tonight

Why no snow instead?

Demons need merriment.

[Ray Jones]

 

 

 

a house in the wood

 

squirrel wee down the chimney

 

no tree outside to pee

 

 

 

 

 

(To all the trees who die during Christmas; 28.000.000 alone in Germany.)

[Jae Onasi]

Children sneak gifts from

under tree to unwrap but

find empty boxes.

 

Mom and Dad fill the

stockings. Son sees and learns that

Santa is not real.

 

Heavenly smells in

the kitchen. Baklava bakes.

Can we wait to eat?

[tk102]

This thread makes me smile.

Hate to tell Sabre this but

it's 5 7 5.

[Sabretooth]

This thread makes me smile.

Hate to tell Sabre this but

it's 5 7 5.

Ah, nice. I still find them weird, though.

[Ray Jones]

it is only not

weird in traditional form

and Hiragana

 

ひるからはちとかげもあリくものみね

 

hi ru ka ra ha

chi to ka ge mo a ri

ku mo no mi ne

[Samuel Dravis]

I was lying sir

Teekay! Your presents will be

waiting by the tree.

 

So do not be sad

because you know that I am

not from the north pole.

 

Didn't someone here

tell you? I am not a big

fat rosy-cheeked man!

 

If you think I am

you should get your eyes checked

by Jae before long.

 

That's right, you haven't

ever seen a pic of me.

Anonymous wins!

[Fish.Stapler]

the snow is coming

its now time to go skiing

who needs those presents

 

i almost forgot

i shall soon own mass effect

present are awesome

[Bee Hoon]

Sisters far away

Plastic tree still in cupboard

No cotton wool snow

 

Turkey I once had

Overrated, sauce and all

I eat rice today

 

@ Sam and tk, lawlz!

[Serpentine Cougar]

I don't like haikus very much, but Rogue Nine's made me laugh.
