Carpe Diem Haiku Special No. 186 Georgia's 2nd "days of Christmas" (choka)

The Christmas markets

Ev’ry year the same routine

Jingle Bells, White Christmas

Season keeps to grey and green

With no snow falling

Glaring sun and hot spice wine

Falling into dreams

Of good old days long gone by

Jingling of the sled

Drawn by cold bloods through the snow

Boughs of tall fir trees

Bobbing up and down in wind

Snow flakes spinning down

The holy night approaching

Home lies far ahead

Under dark sky sweet silence

Moving onwards, ho!

Caressed by crisp and cold air

Across the river

And over the round hillcock

The plain still visible

Twinkling stars and sickle moon

Smell the smoke from home

Wood burning at the fire place

Seeing the warm light

Then greetings and lavish feast

The noise grows louder

And visitors watch and buy

All busses ready

Tourists leave and shops are closed

Tranquil Christmas might start now
