Holiday Haiku #1

Sledding in the park
Push, rush, hold tight, steer, Steer, STEER
Cold mouthfuls of snow

#2

Holiday array
What is the perfect greeting?
“Have a nice solstice”?

#3

Empty parking lot
Wal-mart employees sent home
With empty pockets

#4

Blinking twinkling lights
Hypnotize the dog and cat
Silent night indeed

Holiday Haiku #5

Awoke in Town Park
Snowy and surrounded by
Manger, menorah

#6

Children rise early
Anxiously hovering near
Their parents’ alarm

#7

Elmo and Patsy
On the radio again
Hand me the hammer

#8

Midnight bells outside
Broken shingles in the snow
Boot stains on the rug

Holiday Haiku #9

Colorful landfill
Tied in bows and jolly wreaths
Who will unwrap you?

#10

Who baked these cookies?
They’re funky, but taste okay
What’s this stuff on top?

#11

Dancing Santa Claus
Flapping Fish, musical bear
Pulsing temple pain

#12

They can stay up late
Give the children chocolate
Maybe they’ll sleep in
