CHRISTMAS HAIKU

Hello reading friends!

As we come to the end of a difficult year, I wanted to gift something to everyone who has read, followed, liked, shared, commented, encouraged and supported me (and my writing). Your friendship has been fantastic and helped me feel connected during these strange, worrying times.

As a thank you, I have written three Christmas haiku focusing on light, and hope they are enjoyed by everyone, but particularly bring comfort to those feeling lonely or finding this festive season a challenging one. Please feel free to share.

Wishing everyone a safe, healthy and happy Christmas,

FAIRYLIGHT DELIGHT

WHEN PLANETS ALIGN

TAKE A BREATH THIS CHRISTMAS

Hush, Hush, the Storm has Swept Through

Dylan was born in a rush, seven weeks early, jaundiced, brought on by shock. Mum held my hand as his nostrils flared with each breath. Doctor Esson says there’s nothing to worry about. Dylan’s fine now.

Floppy, his toy rabbit, slouches on a pile of Connor’s t-shirts which lie folded at the end of the table, waiting for him to shift them. Last night’s casserole bowl has grown crusty. Instead of filling the sink with suds, I grab the stuffie and tuck it in my backpack. The TV weatherwoman predicts haar, but I know the beach like I know each wrinkle in Dylan’s wide forehead. Mum looks in twice a day, wittering on about how that rabbit has caused nothing but suffering, how all the walking is getting out of hand, how the watery air is bad for my baby’s chest.
