Holidays

 St Patricks Day

 
 
 
Green
the Emerald Isle
celebrates its patron saint
with a coat of green
 
 

Christmas



Trimming the Tree
crackle and snap
a roaring fire
loud pop
of a dropped ball
trimming the tree





Trimming the Tree
trimming the tree
laughter of children
building a snowman








holiday greetings ~
from Santa's lovely elf ... with ~
egg nog and cookies


 
 
Sleigh Bells

sleigh bells on filly ~
pulls a surrey in the snow ~
Christmas enchantment



Celebrate
(haiku)

family gathers ~
each year, around the yule log ~
celebrate a birth


 
 
 
 

Thanksgiving

 
 
 
Thanksgiving dinner
quiet groaning from the sofa
gluttony punished!








Halloween

 
 
Jest
 
             the tricksters want treats ~
               will accept nothing less ... and ~
     apples are a jest
 
 
 

Pagan Holiday

pagan ceremony ~
aft the hunter's moon ... heals the ~
split twixt life and death



The Graveyard

the graveyard was still
save the soft sound
as they dug themselves
from the soft ground
and joined the wee children
in a trick or treat round!





 
Wiccan
(haiku)
 
 Late October eve ~
eager broomstick hangs on hook ~
wiccan gets prepared
 


Trick or Treat

October twilight ~
little monsters on the prowl ~
tricksters want a treat
 
 
 
The Cellar Stairs
 
down cold creaky stair ~
light switch in the cellar dark ~
do I dare the step?
