Cold.....written by Jimi
Christmas comes and goes.
Loneliness buries a man
like hills in winter.

俳句.....written by inspired8
雪 が ふって
生命 静止した
死 が 白い
yuki ga futte
seimei seishi shita
shi ga shiroi
falling snow
how motionless life
death so white
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The right attitude.....written by poeticpiers
I do not fear the night
although deprived of sight, I know
I’m free to come and go
because the moon will glow for me
just sufficiently
To set my spirit free from fear.
The spectres disappear
they do not belong here and flee
The Moon protects me.
I gladly pay my fee of praise
I have done all my days
I give the moon her due Always.

A Senryu for the Heart.....written by Tom Watson
The beat will go on
Where metronome of the soul
Moves with His heartbeat
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Christmas Haiku.....written by Leysa
A gentle kiss shared
as the tree sparkles nearby.
Merry mistletoe!
