Shattering Winter’s Night
Candle numbers change
But lighting is universal –
Flame shatters dark
*
Winter Pheasant
Gold, green, red contrast,
Warm against the cold white –
Loud cry breaks silence
*
Winter Holiday Evenings
Cats curl, warm, sleeping
Red green lights polka-dot fur –
Mouse sugar plum dreams

This week, write the haikai poem of your choice (haiku, senryu, haibun, tanka, haiga, renga, etc.) that alludes to Christmas, hanukkah or the holiday season in general!

Do the cats dream about catching the mouse or eating it?

It was so cool to see the pheasant again. He may be staying under the evergreens where Sunflower was at for a bit.
