Last month at the writing class at Eden Court, Peter our teacher gave us some exercises involving the Japanese style of poetry (Haiku). These poems are written in three lines and by the number of syllables, not words, on each line, 5 on the first line, 7 on the second line and 5 on the last line.
Peter gave us time for two, but I managed to get one more written.
I thought that giving the time of year, I would like to post some of my haiku poems related to Christmas.
Winter
Snow will fall down soft
Long doze for mouse not Nick
He has gifts for us
Christmas
It comes once more now
Tonight we dream gifts many
Morn we open dreams
Holly
Holly is my name
Light I am to lift brightly
Winter is my time
But since there may be people who don't know or understand Haiku, I have written a short poem based on my Haiku pieces.
Snow is falling softly
Long wait is all but over
One more sleep nightly
Just one day before it's over
Tonight our dreams
Dance of St Nick and reindeer
He lays gifts as he hums
Thinking of the waiting children dear
Holly dreams of green holly
Perfect for the year's moment
Holly dreams of gifts making her jolly
Perfect for a piece of her childhood's moment
Morn has come quick as dream
Gifts open to long dreamt for joy
Day has gone quick as dream
But the gifts will last for the sake of joy
Long wait begins again
Long we wait for this joy again
I hope that you've enjoyed my little pieces, and that you have yourselves a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
