Boxing Week – Haiku



New Christmas trees
The needles don’t sting anymore
Silent night, mother

Snow crystals
Around the pond
Silent ducks

At the bus stop
A wild bunch of sparrows
Then we're gone

Selected for Mainichi Japan by Dhugal J. Lindsay

Christmas Eve
Flowers blooming in the rain
Waiting for snow

Winter’s solstice
Yet sun keeps moving on
Snow for romance

Just in time
Merry jingles and Santa
Save the fir trees

Butterflies
Live, age, die like us
And they dream, too
