LISA’S XMAS HAIKU INVITATIONAL
Dear Friends,
As Christmas day approaches, and we are frantically attending to the many tasks that will make our holiday complete, I feel the need to express myself in the succint and lovely art form of the freestyle Haiku.
As we know, there is an ancient structure to the Haiku, including the five-seven-five syllable rule, not to mention the no-rhyming-or-metaphor rule . . . OR you can freestyle it. The point is to convey your feeling or idea with the fewest words possible, stripping away all unnecessary adverbs or adjectives.
Here are my current thoughts about Christmas, in Haiku:
Xmas gifts aplenty
mall warrior has returned
VISA take my soul
Cookies from the oven
holiday in my mouth
farewell size 6
Please feel free to join Lisa’s XMAS HAIKU INVITATIONAL. Give us three pithy descriptive lines—let us all know how you’re feeling!
