A warm silent night
Ocean breeze stirs the stockings
Hung with gentle care

Boat on the ocean
Silver bells tied to the mast
Jingling with the waves

Salty ocean breeze
Santa sipping cold eggnog
Trying to relax

Dark brown leaves scattered
Laying on the bright green grass
Crunching underfoot
Inside the mansion
Gentle breeze stirring curtains
While ghosts move about

Soft tropical breeze
Running through the tall palm trees
Filled with Christmas cheer

Swing for the fences
He thought, as he stood at home
Crowd cheering loudly
+
On a loud playground
Children swing, slide, run, and play
Happy in their youth

A swing of the axe
The turkey met its demise
Time for Thanksgiving

Hand-made log cabin
Sitting alone in the woods
Crafted by skilled hands
+
Sitting on a log
Inside a round stagnant pond
Frog waits for a meal

A hollowed out log
He crawled in among the slime
Hoping for safety

My great haiku muse
Sitting silent and alone
Waiting to create

I know a lot you signed on for this blog because of my poetry and haiku. I am sorry if it hasn’t been popping off with that subject matter as of late. I honestly haven’t had the motivation to do it. Most of my poetry is on the fly. It pops into my head and I sit down to write out what is flowing from me. That hasn’t happened a lot lately. So, I have a lot of pre-scheduled stuff that I am letting fill the void. Next year I plan to scale back on that to just three days a week. I hope that maybe poetry and haiku will be more in earnest then. Who knows? The muse is a fickle thing and when it chooses to emerge again I will be waiting for it. How do you guys handle the drought when the muse takes a break? Just curious.
Soft winter snowfall
Ice crystals of all sizes
Falling from the sky

Sitting in the sand
Mixed drink filled up with crushed ice
Pure relaxation

Kneeling on one knee
Diamond the color of ice
Hoping for a yes

Trick or Treat bag full of sweets
Massive sugar high
