Zoic: Holiday Haikus
December 22, 2019
Snowing outside:
White flakes are falling
The temperature is dropping
Winter is now here
Family dinner during the holidays:
A feast is spread out
Jokes and laughter fills the air
Food savors in mouth
Writing letters to Santa:
Paper and pencil
Listing the good deeds I’ve done
And the things I want
Christmas Eve:
It’s nearly bedtime
Cookies and milk are laid out
Santa is coming
Christmas morning:
Waking up early
Rushing down the stairs to find
A surfeit of gifts
Opening up presents:
Chooses one of them
Wrapping paper goes flying
It’s the perfect gift
Ice skating:
Scooting on the ice
Starts to feel like secondhand
But then you fall down
Snowball fights:
Snowballs are flying
Safe behind our barricades
How will this war end?
Hot chocolate:
The mug warms my hands
Marshmallows start to swirl in
A sea of cocoa
Sitting by the fireplace:
The fire is ablaze
The room flourishes with warmth
Feeling quite cozy
