droplets of white flakes

lightly falling on petals

covering the ground

warm Christmas eve night

holiday spirit soaring

sharing love and peace

winter sparkling snow

trees decorated with lights

gifts warmly exchanged

The snow is falling,

yellow sparks from logs fly high,

egg nog is the best.

_____

The stockings, stuffed.

gifts galore under the tree,

holiday songs, sung.

_____

It's a snowball fight!

You can duck but you can't hide!

I'm coming for you!

_____

Late night, Christmas Eve,

kids in bed, just you and me,

and the kiss lingers.

Under the warm glow

Of red and green Christmas lights,

I lean into you

Powdery snow falls

Blanketing the earth in white

Gorgeous winter day

On Christmas morning

Sounds the pitter-patter of

Small feet dashing through

Ribbons and glitter

Adorning the gifts under

The dressed Christmas tree

Reindeer prance along

While Santa and his elves work

Giving joy to all

Happy holidays

To one and all, a season

Of joy, mirth, and cheer

Last cupcake sits

on the silver serving dish

before vanishing

he walks quietly

then gets mad seeing his snack

is no longer there

who had taken it?

ah~ the only other person

that liked cupcakes, too.

#gone.

I wait to be wrapped

in snow blankets; the clouds have

My rapt attention.

.

.

.

Mischievous snowmen

love to wink at passersby;

squirrels love their eyes.

...

Hehe. Puns. And poor haikus.

.

.

.

I'm terrible, see?

At haikus and syllables.

It's foreign to me.

...

Ha. See what I did there? ;)

Yep, I'll leave now.

But here is a more serious one to end. "Serious" meaning...that I thought about it.

.

.

.

The tiny hush falls

tensed - for a miracle comes

and all nature knows.

Peppermint snowflakes

fall onto holy stables,

Candles remember.

Reindeer fly above.

Kris Kringle sits on the coach

and shouts to the stars.

Merry Christmas to

all and to all a goodnight!

Children dream of gifts

awaiting next morn

strewn under the Christmas tree

wrapped in paper.

But what brings us here,

together with merry cheer

is not gifts or deer.

We are here for love.

It's that time again

For snow, for joy, and for laughs

The Winter brings

Especially when

All of those goddamn bastard

Mosquitoes are dead
