Christmas Haiku
With the craziness of the season, Haiku seemed the right medium for today…..
Then
a star, a dark barn
donkeys, sheep, a bed of straw
emmanuel. jesus.
Now
bustle. bells. lights. trees.
we buy, wrap, cook, decorate
what would jesus do?

It’s so easy to get caught up in the stuff. I want to let go of some of that and focus on serving instead.

I've seen what works (and what doesn't), and I know what it takes for a growing writer to get your work out and grow as you go.
Beautiful haiku Christine.
Thanks, Louis. I gotta give props to Chris Vonada for inspring one about Spaghetti-O’s….started my whole new haiku passion!
Love the poetry in this. Thanks, Christine.
I think we could all let slide our ideas of who the many places we have to visit and things we have to do, and just be- just be greatful for the gift of Christ, for each other, for our eternal future. Thanks for the great reminder.
Thanks so much for stopping by, Stephen! Lest I appear like I have it all sorted out….it takes writing things like this to continually remind me where to focus and how to be still. Merry Christmas!
