Day 9 #Gifts of #Haiku/ #TheTwelveDaysofChristmas
(theme: Christmas song, What Child is This)
corona days…
waiting for the robin
to appear
Haiku for Gillena Cox’s Let’s Haiku a Christmas Carol, at Lunch Break,
*
hung with lights
the tree still sparkles…
year end sales
.
(Day 7)
*
dreaming
of a safe Christmas…
children’s refuge
.
(Day 6)
.
peace and joy –
on the Christmas tree
a red felt heart
.
