I wondered if anyone likes playing with words and writing a haiku, the Japanese verse form with 17 syllables in 3 lines with 5,7 and 5 syllables each. I remembered trying to write poems when I retired and forgot all about it until my memory was jogged yesterday. Here's my try for Gransnet:

the autumn of life
winter of discontentment
spring hopes, eternal.

Anyone else like to have a go?

Coughing all night through
Will this nightmare ever end
Strepsils may just help

Just wanted to say
To all you G.N's on here
A Happy Christmas

Gransnet home made gift
Used Himalayan Pink salt
And rose oil. Perfect.

Cards I have to write
Presents that must be wrapped up
It must be Christmas
