The turkey is stuffed
Pigs in blankets are roasted
Nan Kate sips sherry smile

Up there in the loft
My Christmas decorations
They need to come down

Babysat Friday
Train was running late again
Causing me much stress.

The warmth from the fire
Commandeered by snoring dogs
No room on the rug

It's not hard to see
That this is a difficult
Time of year for some

Done a quick one whilst waiting for the kettle to boil!

The lights of Christmas

Ease the darkness of winter

For just a brief time

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?
