Haiku
winter solstice dance
yule log’s burning sacrifice
firey life’s renewal
modern feast of light
an electric sacrifice
turkeys and pudding

For CarpeDiem Haiku Kai : Crann Na Beatha, the tree of life.
N.B. I rewrote these haiku…the first refers to the Celtic Winter Solstice…the second to our consumeristic Christmas.

thank you…I rewrote the two with my son…we had a lot of fun especially as he doesn’t write poetry and says he understands nothing about haiku…so I explained the principles to him and we worked these out together…one in the past one for the present 🙂
