5 sleeps until Christmas Day...

Haiku Friday


Christmas busyness
things too many; dizzying
torn this way and that

enthusiasm waning
lost my reason for season
how to get it back?




















It seems to me that the World has
lost sight of the meaning and message
of Christmas. The days leading up
to Christmas have be drowned in
meaningless advertising, rush and
bustle and a fever of purchasing.

I have lost my enthusiasm for the
world's variety of Christmas. So,
now I want to find my way back to
the peace that comes with the simple
reasons for the season. The birth of
the Savior of the world...Jesus.


Being able to write this helps
reaffirm what I believe. I do not
have to sell my soul to the merchandising
moguls of the world. I can still be just me.

Love,

Haiku Friday

Haiku Friday


Many thoughts, week full
people playing game of life
intense emotions

outside looking in
so many situations
all seeking something

lives in division
streaming many directions
each searching answers

unusual week
questions remain unanswered
grace, mercy, for all


Love,

Destined

Haiku Friday

secluded away

child reading beloved books

never forgotten


words kept close through years

brought out when needing comfort

writer in making


hours spent immersed

solace in repetition

words come full circle


My Haiku this week is for and about my
friend Mary, treasured friend and amazing
writer. This week is her first venture into
Haiku Friday. Have a wonderful week
everyone. :)

Love,

Haiku Friday



shadow following
moving with body rhythm
faceless pretender


shadow has no thought
silhouette goes everywhere
silent companion


tiny hands do make
shadow puppets on the wall
children full of glee


This is my first contribution
to Haiku Friday.

The subject of Shadows just
came to mind, so I thought I
would follow that stream.
