The snow falls softly
Outside my writing window
On this Christmas morn.
The kids lay sleeping…
Or should that be lie? While I
Pour words on pages.
Rat-a-tat-tat-a,
My fingers fly across keys.
Then I hear the sound.
Giftwrap tears open
As laughter explodes nearby
And I am finished.
It is Christmas morn.
I will write again later.
Family comes first.
As we remember
On this day a child was born.
A Savior for all.
The Conversation
Beautiful Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas
Nice on, Alycia. Thank you.
Really beautiful for Christmas!
Just a note by way of form. Haiku are about nature only so the first verse would fall under that. But in the same format, Senryu are about people. So, technically…
Okay, I’ll quit being a poetry nerd now and just enjoy the beautiful words that you have penned. They do paint a lovely picture for Christmas!
Thanks Marci! I knew that about haiku and figured some of the verses weren’t technically following suit. 😉 Glad there are poetry nerds out there who are more familiar with the different types of poems than I am!
